A charming picture book from two celebrated masters of children's literature. This lyric poem by one of the most revered children's writers captures those faint glimpses of things that you see but don't quite recognize; sounds you can almost hear; smells, tastes, and feelings that you can't quite name. Each line of the poem and each picture in the book depict the sensual essence of a child's day, each of which is totally typical yet thoroughly unique.

"A fascinating look at an overlooked part of nature." --Kirkus Reviews

"The illustrations are elegant, decorative, and vivid. . . . Use this as a bridge between April Pulley Sayre and Joyce Sidman, or just to encourage language arts students to explore their own views of traces." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

* "Paula Fox once again demonstrates her mastery of the vivid art of the written word. Traces is a wonderful resource that encourages quiet moments of one-on-one reading, group storytelling, and classroom study of effective writing." --Library Media Connection, starred review
