This is a lovely gem of a book containg pages of poems with incredibly beautiful illustrations. I've had this book for awhile, and finally picked it up by chance to read, and I'm so glad I sat down in a comfortable chair and read the poems, some of which spoke to me, but, all of them are good!

Highly Recommended.

There are trees

exactly as much

that think all the time.
on some days
it's just a question
of knowing the song.

First my friend
laughs, and afterward
I do.

Then the laughter is
precisely long enough.
I can wind it
three times around my neck,
and get it to warm me
half the winter.… (mehr)
