Something From Nothing
By Phoebe Gillman (Scholastic Press)
Loosely based on a Jewish folksong, this book chronicles the transition of a boy from the time he was an infant with a beautiful blanket to a young boy with a very sentimental button.
Why You Should Own This Book: Gillman’s books are often better known for her stunning illustrations rather than her text; however, Something From Nothing does not disappoint. The phrases “wonderfully repetitive” and “visually stunning,” are common among reviewers. Something from Nothing won the Ruth Schwartz Award in 1993 and the Sydney Taylor Award in 1992.
