Publisher's Synopsis
An inspiring and kid-accessible biography of one of the world's most famous poets.
Emily
Dickinson, who famously wrote "Hope is the thing with feathers that
perches in the soul," is brought to life in this moving story. In a
small New England town lives Emily Dickinson, a girl in love with small
things-a flower petal, a bird, a ray of light, a word. In those small
things, her brilliant imagination can see the wide world-and in her
words, she takes wing. From celebrated children's author Jennifer Berne
comes a lyrical and lovely account of the life of Emily Dickinson: her
courage, her faith, and her gift to the world. With Dickinson's own
inimitable poetry woven throughout, this lyrical biography is not just a
tale of prodigious talent, but also of the power we have to transform
ourselves and to reach one another when we speak from the soul.
Fantastic educational opportunity to share Emily Dickinson's story and poetry with young readers
An inspirational real-life story that will appeal to children and adults alike.
Jennifer Berne is the author of critically acclaimed children's biographies of Albert Einstein and Jacques Cousteau.
