OverviewThemes of tenderness, play, and nature are centered in poet and French professor Julia Knowlton's debut children's book, A to Z Poems for the Very Young. Each letter, with its own poem and touching illustration by Leah Owenby, invites the reader to delight in a small moment of wonder and joy. A valuable addition to classrooms and home libraries, this collection of poems is as captivating as it is educational. -Eleanor Peloi Stephenson, author of Our Heart Can Soar Each of these A-to-Z poems creates a little story that children can enjoy, identify with, and build on. -Alice K. Boatwright, author of Mrs. Potts Finds Thanksgiving When reading Julia Caroline Knowlton's first book of poetry for children, I made a mental note of what the characters were doing most often: seeing and having. And it struck me as the perfect approach to poetry. Poetry is, at its core, about things existing in the world as real objects and how those objects mean and reverberate through the imagination. Through simple rhymes and illustrations, children have the perfect start into the realm of verse. So much depends on the airplane, fireflies, and umbrella. -Nadia Arioli, Editor-in-Chief of Thimble Lit Mag and author of BE STILL Full Product DetailsAuthor: Leah Owenby , Julia Caroline KnowltonPublisher: Kelsay Books Imprint: Kelsay Books Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.30cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.082kg ISBN: 9781639806249ISBN 10: 1639806245 Pages: 50 Publication Date: 16 August 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
