Award-winning children's book author Charles Ghigna (aka
Father Goose®)
introduces poetry to children through the eyes of an adorable bear, his woodland friends, and a bright little firefly.
What is a poem? A poem can be many things. In this sweet forest setting join a group of friendly woodland animals as they ponder the wonder and magic of poetry. Each animal friend offers their own ideas about poetry, from a whisper to a shout to a laugh to a sigh, and then realizes that poetry is an everyday part of our lives. And yes, indeed, a poem can be a firefly upon the summer wind.
Young readers will discover that a poem can be many things, such as a moment or a memory caught in time. Winner of the Northern Lights Book Awards Winner, Poetry Category,
A Poem Is a Firefly
is an ideal way to get children thinking about literature and is a perfect introduction to the genre of poetry.
