Feathers on Stone
"Joan Leotta's Features on Stone is a love letter to nature. You begin to see yourself in nature and nature in you. This is what fine poetry does-it elevates language and blends your world into that which is outside of you. The way Leotta's lines and images dance like rain on the page, you begin to see your experiences as beautiful and complex as the moon and the sun's and everything else in between"--
Whoosh!
A snow day! Share the excitement of waking up and discovering that the ground is covered with snow. Even better, we are snowed in and Dad is home instead of at work! To celebrate, Dad and I are going sledding. The sound of the sled going down the hill at a nearby park (WHOOSH!) guides the tale through the fun and bonding between the child and her dad. His love for her is demonstrated in the smallest ways - in gestures she may not understand now, but will impact her later. In dialogue with both her dad and mom, the child reveals that time with them is indeed the most important thing to her - any day. This book is written from the first person point of view, so that the listener is able to visualize themselves in the role of the child.
