Description

This collection of 77 poems addresses a variety of environmental issues for young readers. Each poem--with titles like "What is a Weed?", "Seal-Song," "The Dodo," "A River's Story"--gives a relevant issue, such as endangered species, meaning for children just discovering environmentalism. The poets--including Robert Louis Stevenson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, a Zuni Indian, and a group of school children--are from all over the world. What is One? One is the sun, a rhino's horn; a drop of dew, a lizard's tongue. One is the world, a lonely whale; an elephant's trunk, a monkey's tail. One is an acorn, one is a moon; one is a forest, felled too soon. --Judith Nicholls - from Amzon
