Présentation de l'éditeur

From “Water Music” and the “Babbling Brook” (it speaks in Brookish) to an ocean that “sometimes sings and sometimes raves,” Marilyn Singer has captured the nature of water in this insightful and lyrical collection of poems. Whether she is showing us gardens, all dressed-up in “diamond necklaces of dew or lace collars of frost,” or the “sudden summer stream . . . the stubby hydrant brings to the city child,” she shows us surprising and delightful new ways of looking at water and nature.

Biographie de l'auteur

Meilo So’s watery india-ink illustrations, printed in blue, strike just the right balance. Marilyn Singer and Meilo So collaborated on a previous collection of poetry entitled Footprints on the Roof which School Library Journal praised as “a work of minimalist art, in which harmony is achieved between text and image with no extraneous words or strokes. A welcome addition to nature-poetry collections.”
