I had ordered these books before the Holidays and they just arrived last week. But I have to tell you that they were worth the wait. The books are beautifully illustrated and also have sweet messages. The Tear Thief by Carol Ann Duffy is a precious story. Each night, in the hours between supper and bedtime, the tear thief carries her waterproof, silvery sack over her shoulder as she soundlessly steals the tears of every child that cries. But what does she do with all those tears? And why are the tears of real sadness the most special ones of all? Both books are illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli who is an amazing artist.
