It is the perfect choice for a quiet bedtime or a moment of reconnection after a day of big transitions. This lyrical poem follows a child through various moods and activities, from being wild and loud to quiet and contemplative. Through gentle verse, Alison McGhee emphasizes the beauty of a child's evolving identity and the freedom to explore the world at their own pace.
