EVERYBODY IN THE RED BRICK BUILDING
An urban bedtime romp from debut author Anne Wynter and Caldecott Honoree Oge Mora.
Everybody in the red brick building was asleep. Until... WaaaAAAAAH . pitter patter STOMP. Weeeee-yoo, Weeeeee-yoo . pah-pum... pah-pum...pah-pum...
A chain reaction of noises wakes several children (and a cat) living in an apartment building. But it's late into the night, so despite the disturbances, one by one, the building's inhabitants return to their beds - this time, with a new set of sounds to lull them to sleep.
This timeless bedtime picture book features diverse characters and a rhythm so perfect that it'll prepare little readers for slumber themselves.
Anne Wynter is a playwright and freelance copywriter who began her career as a publicist in the book publishing industry. More than a dozen of her short plays have been produced around the country and included in such festivals as 14/48 Austin, the Austin One-Minute Play Festival, and The Lift Off New Play Festival in New York. Anne has a degree in drama from Washington University in St. Louis, she earned a certificate in short story writing from the University of Chicago, and she studied picture book writing at The Writing Barn. Everybody in the Red Brick Building is her debut.
Oge Mora graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in illustration. Her debut picture book, Thank You, Omu!, was a Caldecott Honor Book, a New York Times Notable Book and Editors' Choice, and a Junior Library Guild selection. She is also the author-illustrator of Saturday, as well as the illustrator of The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read. Oge lives in Providence, Rhode Island, and invites you to visit her website at www.ogemora.com.
