Grades 1-5 Breathtaking and creative photos of plants, birds and insects of the midwest complement classic poems by well loved authors. The selections are thought-provoking and inspiring. Together, the images painted with word and picture provide creative perspectives on plants, animals, birds, and insects, perhaps inspiring young readers to try penning an ode to spiders or a haiku about mushrooms...or to look for small miracles in their own backyards.
