Forest has a Song is a book by Amy Ludwig Vanderwater and Illustrated by Robbin Gourley. I checked it out from the library and am excited to explore these simple poems more with my children and my Tiny Tots adventurers.
The poems are similar to the Joyful Noise:poems for two voices that I have used by Paul Fleischman in my intermediate grades classrooms. Within each poem are often two perspectives...the a child noticing fall and some leaves, a child and a chickadee, a child and a squirrel.
These poems might be a nice springboard for writing poems with children. I can also imagine a parent and a child reading them together.
Some books are a completed work of art .. Others are art that inspires. I think this book may be the latter.
