The Sunday Good Morning (To Laugh That We May Not Weep) - In The Language Of The Rhinoceros

 

CAPTION: A Panther doesn't like a cage...They want the whole world as their stage...

 

From a children’s book we finished but never quite...FINALLY AVAILABLE IN PRINT...OUR FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK!

 

"In The Language Of The Rhinoceros"

 

A book of wordplay, wondrous creatures, and whimsy...

 

Well...we were able to convince all of the animals (except the Thylacine...we couldn't find any of them) that they really ought to be in a book...

 

IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE RHINOCEROS (A Book by Ava Dawn Heydt & Marc Moorash - co-editors of Art Young's Good Morning)

 

An exploration of the words and worlds of the animals who have lent traits to humans and the humans who have relinquished some of our behaviors in return. Painted in glorious watercolor by illustrator Ava Dawn Heydt, the learning and humor are accessible to both little and big kids, alike.

 

36 pages, hardcover, 8.5" x 11" - $27.00

The Panther (translated from the German)

 

His vision, from the constantly passing bars,

has grown so weary that it cannot hold

anything else. It seems to him there are

a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world.

 

As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,

the movement of his powerful soft strides

is like a ritual dance around a center

in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.

 

Only at times, the curtain of the pupils

lifts, quietly--. An image enters in,

rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,

plunges into the heart and is gone.
