Items related to Pea Pod Lullaby
In poetic language and soft watercolor illustrations, this gentle lullaby of a tale evokes a story about finding refuge. Escaping flames and barbed wire, a mother, a baby, a boy, and a dog flee for their lives, climbing into a small sailboat to set off to sea. A polar bear, too, has come adrift. When will they find land? Who will welcome them in? Where will they call home? With lyrical narration and child-friendly illustrations, Glenda Millard and Stephen Michael King create a comforting and timely story about courage, endurance, and hope -- and what we can be for one another.

Review:
Millard writes in the prayerful voice of a child addressing a parent, or a loved one addressing the beloved...With a story that suggests a flight from violence but does not dwell on it, adults can explain as much or as little to young readers as they are ready to hear.
--Publishers Weekly Though the sophisticated and ambiguous text makes "lullaby" a misnomer, this is, nevertheless, a powerful catalyst for discussions of war and its consequences and for ways to help those in need. Best shared one-on-one.
--School Library Journal They can even speak for all refugees. "I / You / We," the text reads as King illustrates our globe itself, suspended in space, on the final page. It's as if the very words in this book bloom; with each page turn, they open their arms wider to include more of the world. It's an enigmatic, wondrous poem, this text.
