Poetry for Young People: Emily Dickinson edited by Frances Schoonmaker Bolin, illustrated by Chi Chung

Journey into the world of Emily Dickinson where ordinary things and occurrences are filled with magical charm and graceful beauty.

Watch a sunrise come to life in She sweeps with many colored brooms.
Sail to far-off places by reading, because after all There is no frigate like a book.
Giggle at the plea of a fly as he writes Bee, I'm expecting you!
Feel the surprising warmth of snow when It sifts from leaden sieves. Delight in the hidden secrets of the everyday world. Insects, birds, animals, the grass, the sun and moon, trees, flowers, the sea, and even Emily Dickinson's thoughts about herself take on new personalities and become other things in more than thirty-five favorite poems — including "I like to see it lap the miles", "A fuzzy fellow without feet", "The wind begun to rock the grass", and "I never saw a moor". Stunning, full-color drawings capture each poem's mood, and definitions and commentary invite you to jump right into the poetry and vision of one of America's best-loved poets.
