Daniel Finds a Poem by Micha Archer
This ode to the power of poetry is a sensory delight. Readers follow Daniel throughout the week as he seeks to find the answer to his query, "What is poetry?" His daily excursions to the park provide him with a variety of answers. Archer's evocative text and richly colored collages combine to create an awe-inspiring exploration of the wonders of his world. I love this line: "Oh, poetry! Poetry is bright stars in the branches, moonlight on the grass, and silent wings to take me wherever I go." |
