Title: Daniel finds a poem
Description: Stunning collage art full of rich color, glorious details, and a sense of wonder--reminiscent of the work of Ezra Jack Keats--illustrate this delightful story celebrating the poetry found in the world around us. When Daniel sees a sign on the park gate that says  Poetry in the Park, Sunday at 6,  he wonders,  What is poetry?  and is surprised when a spider tells him:  To me, poetry is when morning dew glistens.  This leads the curious little boy to seek out other park animals and pose the same question. After he hears from Squirrel, Chipmunk, Frog, Turtle, Cricket, and Owl, Daniel creates a lovely poem that he recites at Poetry in the Park, in front of a crowd of poetry-lovers, including all his animal friends.
