Stunning collage art full of rich color, glorious details, and a sense
of wonder--reminiscent of the work of Ezra Jack Keats--illustrate this
delightful story celebrating the poetry found in the world around us.
What is poetry? Is it glistening morning dew? Spider thinks so. Is it
crisp leaves crunching? That's what Squirrel says. Could it be a cool
pond, sun-warmed sand, or moonlight on the grass? Maybe poetry is all
of these things, as it is something special for everyone--you just have
to take the time to really look and listen. The magical thing is that
poetry is in everyone, and Daniel is on his way to discovering a poem of
his own after spending time with his animal friends. What is poetry? If
you look and listen, it's all around you!
