"Winter Poems"

Tonight's holiday book for children is a collection of poems called "Winter Poems" selected by Barbara Rogasky and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. The book is intentionally nonsectarian. You will find poems by Carl Sandburg, Wallace Stevens, Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay among the many. I will label each illustration I include here with the title and author of the poem it goes together with to further this point.

 "Something Told The Wild Geese" by Rachel Feild
"A Merry Note" by William Shakespeare 
"A Winter Piece" by William Cullen Bryant 
"Laughing Boy" by Richard Wilbur 
"Waiting For Birds" by David Kherdian
