A Poem Is a Firefly

What's a poem? A poem can be many things. In this ideal way to get children thinking about literature join a group of friendly woodland animals as they introduce the wonder and magic of poetry. Each animal friend offers their own ideas about poetry, from a whisper to a shout to a laugh to a sigh, and then realizes that poetry is an everyday part of our lives. And yes, indeed, a poem can be a firefly upon the summer wind. Charles Ghigna, illustrated by Michelle Hazelwood Hyde 32 pp | 9" x 11" x .25" | 20 color images | Hardcover
