Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by a fast-paced world or when you want to nurture their growing curiosity about the natural environment. This anthology serves as a meditative bridge between the observer and the observed, using the power of poetry to slow down time. It is less about a narrative plot and more about a collection of moments: the flash of a bird's wing, the shift in the wind, or the quiet dignity of an old tree. Steele has curated selections from English and American poets that emphasize the interconnectedness of all living things. It is an ideal choice for the elementary or middle school child who possesses a sensitive or scientific mind. It offers a sophisticated vocabulary and emotional depth that can help children articulate their own feelings of wonder and gratitude for the world around them.
