What a Beautiful Morning

Every morning is beautiful when Noah visits his Grandparents. When Grandpa and Noah wake up, they take off singing and hardly stop: walking the dog, splashing through puddles, and eating French toast with cinnamon.
But one summer Grandpa seems to have forgotten how to do the things they love. Does he even know who Noah is?
Grandma steps in energetically, filling in as best she can. But it is Noah who finds the way back to something he can share with Grandpa. Something musical. Something that makes the morning beautiful again.

Inspired by his relationship with his father, this heartwarming story written by the acclaimed publisher and editor, Arthur A. Levine, shows the unbreakable bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Paired with Katie Kath’s vivid watercolor illustrations that carefully express each emotional detail, this book is a reassuring ode to how love can help us find even what we think is lost.

Arthur A. Levine has published poetry and picture books for young readers includingMonday is One Day illustrated by Julian Hector and All the Lights in the Night illustrated by James Ransome. He is also the editor and publisher of many well-known and beloved books for young people including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. He lives in the New York metropolitan area with his family.

Katie Kath is an award-winning illustrator from the rolling hills of North Carolina, and lives with her husband and their cat. She works primarily in watercolor and ink.
