A stunning new picture book to bring families together this Advent, from bestselling author Gayle Boss and award-winning Israeli illustrator Sharon Spitz

From bestselling author Gayle Boss (All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings) comes an illustrated Lenten reader filled with twenty-five of Earth's rare and wild creatures. Their stories, while tragic and uncomfortable, will wake readers to greater compassion and hope--which is what Lent, meaning "springtime," has always been for.

From the bestselling author of Wild Hope -- a beautiful book for Advent. Open a window each day of Advent onto the natural world. Here are twenty-five fresh images of the foundational truth that lies beneath and within the Christ story. In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes. Short, daily reflections that paint vivid, poetic images of familiar animals, paired with charming original wood-cuts, will engage both children and adults. Anyone who does not want to be caught, again, in the consumer hype of "the holiday season" but rather to be taken up into the eternal truth the natural world reveals will welcome this book.
