About this eBook
Discover the wonder that wildlife brings to a small woodland farm in this lyrical cumulative picture book with stunning scratchboard illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Beth Krommes.
This is the hedge that grew and grew.
The wall of stone a bit askew.
This is the gap where the deer slip through,
when the sky is still more pink than blue…
Throughout the course of a beautiful summer day, from sunrise to moonrise, a host of animals find their way through a gap in the hedge, bringing the farm to life.
