“The poet is an anomaly in our culture. The goal of our culture is money and power. And that’s not exactly what poetry is about. What is it about? That’s a hard question. It’s about anything the human mind and unconscious can produce. And that’s infinite.”

Dreamy are the images in Sky Tree, like viewing the world through a gentle mist. A single tree is viewed throughout the season and becomes a gentle teaching tool about how the natural world works. Though targeted to children, I certainly felt like I learned some things after reading this book — about patience, about beauty and about perspective. A great gift for a child of any age.

“a child’s garden” is one of the most beautiful – and most political – children’s picture books Ive read in a while. By Michael Foreman, it is a seemingly simple story of a little boy who finds a seedling. He waters it. The seedling grows into a garden filled with birds and butterflies. The catch? The garden covers a barbed wire fence, a fence dividing two people on one land. And … I think that is all that I will share of this powerful little tale. I look forward to tracking down more of the author/illustrator’s work.
