In this enchanting picture book, young Daniel embarks on a quest to understand poetry after seeing a sign for "Poetry in the Park." He asks various park animals, from a glistening dew-loving spider to a hooting owl, for their unique definitions. Each animal offers a simple, beautiful observation of nature, helping Daniel piece together his own understanding. The book culminates in Daniel bravely sharing his newly crafted poem at the park event. Micha Archer's vibrant collage illustrations, reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats, are integral to the story's wonder, making this a perfect read-aloud for introducing children to the beauty of language, nature, and creative expression. It encourages observation and listening, fostering both curiosity and self-confidence.
