Color Me a Rhyme : Nature Poems for Young People

What colors do you see in nature - the green of a fern, the brown of a desert, the gray of a lifeless tree?

Look closer. You'll find more than meets the eye. Is that a white flower, or a star that fell in the forest?

Is that an orange sunset, or a piece of fruit that's ripe for eating?

Is that a blue sky, or the slate on which a bird writes?

In thirteen memorable poems, Jane Yolen takes you on a whimsical journey through Mother Nature's glorious landscape.

Using Jason Stemple's dazzling photographs as a backdrop, Ms. Yolen paints her own vivid pictures that are both real and imagined.
