About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and invite a sense of awe into your child's day. Whether your child is a budding scientist obsessed with critters or a dreamer who loves beautiful art, this collection serves as a gentle bridge between the natural world and the world of high literature. It is perfect for quiet bedtime reading or as a creative spark for a child who enjoys drawing and writing. This anthology gathers thirty-two poems from some of history's greatest writers, including William Blake and Emily Dickinson, and pairs them with Simona Mulazanni's lush, captivating paintings. The poems range from witty and short to lyrical and atmospheric, celebrating everything from elephants to jellyfish. While the language is sophisticated, the universal subject of animals makes it accessible and engaging for children ages 5 to 10, building their vocabulary and emotional intelligence through the lens of nature's beauty.
