Wildflower Emily
FROM SARAH:
One of my new tippy-top favorites. There is everything to love about this short graphic novel! Of special import is the focus on Emily as a girl with lots of interests—not just about her poetry. Highly recommended.
Recommended for ages 6+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Emily Dickinson is one of America’s greatest and most original poets of all time. When you hear her name, you may imagine the famous recluse whose withdrawal from society became legendary. But it’s time to meet a new side of Emily, one that is powerful, adventurous, and joyful.
Follow along as we delve into Emily Dickinson’s childhood, revealing a young girl desperate to go out exploring―to meet the flowers in their own homes. Wade through tall grasses to gather butterfly weed and goldenrod, the air alive with the “buccaneers of buzz.” And, don’t forget to keep a hot potato in your pocket to keep your fingers warm.
