**
There was a boy
named Emile
who fell
in love with a field.
It was wide
and blue--
and if you could have
seen it
so would've you.
Emile loves the field close to his home--in spring, summer, and fall,
when it gives him bees and flowers, blossoms and leaves. But not as much
in winter, when he has to share his beautiful, changeable field with
other children...and their sleds. This relatable and lyrical ode to one
boy's love for his neighborhood field celebrates how spending time in
nature allows children to dream, to imagine...and even to share.
