Water Music: Poems for Children [Paperback]

In pond, river, and ocean, as a solid, liquid, or gas, water is everywhere. But what does it evoke? What emotions are brought forth when we hear the crash of surf, see the rush of a stream, or feel the tickle of soap bubbles on our skin? In thoughtful poems, renowned author Jane Yolen takes a fresh look at water in all its forms, using photographer Jason Stemple's breathtaking pictures as inspiration. Waterfalls, steams, lakes, ocean waves, even bath water take on new meaning as poet and photographer examine these liquid landscapes through careful words and a camera's lens.Jane Yolenis the author of more than two hundred books for young readers and adults. She lives in St. Andrews, Scotland, and Hatfield, Massachusetts.

Jason Stemple, a free-lance photographer, provided the photographs forHorizons,Color Me a Rhyme,Once Upon Ice,Water Music, andSnow, Snow--all poetry books for young people written by his mother, Jane Yolen. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.CN
