“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.

The Power of a Garden

“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.
