Items related to Forest Has a Song: Poems
A spider is a “never-tangling dangling spinner / knitting angles, trapping dinner.” A tree frog proposes, “Marry me. Please marry me... / Pick me now. / Make me your choice. / I’m one great frog / with one strong voice.” VanDerwater lets the denizens of the forest speak for themselves in twenty-six lighthearted, easy-to-read poems. As she observes, “Silence in Forest / never lasts long. / Melody / is everywhere / mixing in / with piney air. / Forest has a song.” The graceful, appealing watercolor illustrations perfectly suit these charming poems that invite young readers into the woodland world at every season.

From the Author:
It was a joy to write this book; each poem brought me to the woods of my childhood and took me to the Adirondacks where our family walks barefoot on moss. Over and over, I hiked behind our home, studying Forest in tree, bird, plant, and furry creature. I listened, and I imagined. Then, I wrote and revised, reliving each season again.
I was and am delighted with Robbin Gourley's warm illustrations of a girl and her brother exploring their own woods, full of curiosity, wonder, and a sense of freedom. Such time with nature changes us, and I hope that all parents and teachers will make time to bring children beyond their own backyards, to discover the mysteries of our beautiful and fragile world.

Marry me.
Please marry me....
Pick me now.

I'm one great frog
with one strong voice.
