APPEALS TO: SOME
A young girl takes a walk with a poet. With notebook and pen in hand, they explore Cape Cod together and write down words into the notebook. It's important to use all of your senses when exploring the world. At the end of the walk, can the girl use the words that she has gathered to write her own poetry?
This book was inspired and written as a tribute to the poet Mary Oliver. I liked the idea of the book, but it didn't pull me in. My daughter and I thought it was a little boring. It seemed like not a lot was happening in the plot.
