And it struck me as the perfect approach to poetry. Poetry is, at its core, about things existing in the world as real objects and how those objects mean and reverberate through the imagination. Through simple rhymes and illustrations, children have the perfect start into the realm of verse. So much depends on the airplane, fireflies, and umbrella. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eNadia Arioli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Editor-in-Chief of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThimble Lit Mag\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eBE STILL\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelsay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50871123050770,"sku":"9781639806249","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8e0a5901-d142-4959-b045-64823cdf8b85.jpg?v=1737822988","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-to-z-poems-for-the-very-young-9781639806249","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
