From Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan comes a cozy
picture book of love, light, and community during New Year's and taking
the past with us as we step into the future, brought to life with tender
and intricate cut paper illustrations.
On the very last evening before the new year, when the snow is falling
soft and thick, two black horses wait for the jingle of their sled. As
they ride about town, they will spread light to their beloved neighbors,
bidding farewell to the last night--and saying hello to the first
morning.
