Wildflower Emily
by Godwin Books
112 pages; soft cover; full color
Emily Dickinson is one of America's greatest and most original poets of all time. When you hear her name, you may imagine a white dress worn by a slight, quaint, and introverted figure. A famous recluse, whose withdrawal from society became legendary. But it's time to meet a new side of Emily, that re-remembers her as the powerful, adventurous, and joyful girl she truly was.
Follow along as we delve into Emily Dickinson's childhood as 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.
