Nina Crews Children's Books
Illustration from One Hot Summer Day, by Nina Crews. Girl in sunglasses holding newspaper fan.

ONE HOT SUMMER DAY

It is summer and it is HOT. Dogs pant. Women carry umbrellas for the shade. But the running, dancing narrator is busy. Drawing. Teasing her shadow. Eating Popsicles.


Here is a perfect book for all seasons: If you are cold, it will warm you, and if you are hot–well, the sky is darkening, and the big drops are ready to fall. Nina Crews makes a stunning debut with a book bursting with emotion, truth, and beauty. Available in hardcover and paperback.


Praise for One Hot Summer Day:
