Sinterklaas! Susan Cooper: "The Shortest Day" - A Reading to Herald the Winter Solstice
Uploaded by Oblong Books
THE SHORTEST DAY by Susan Cooper and illustrated by Carson Ellis
Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper’s poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before — and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. All the things we also celebrate on Sinterklaas! Susan Cooper is one of our foremost children’s authors; her classic five-book fantasy sequence The Dark Is Rising has sold millions of copies worldwide.
