Climbing
A poem by renowned twentieth-century poet Amy Lowell receives illustrative treatment in this picture book that transforms climbing a tree into a whimsical adventure. As a girl climbs an apple tree, the branches, blossoms, and fruit grow larger, dwarfing her as she approaches a glistening city perched atop the canopy. She next takes flight on the back of a majestic white bird. Enchanting illustrations enhance this homage to the ability of the imagination to make even the mundane magical.
