The Keeper of Wild Words: (Nature for Kids, Exploring Nature with Children) - Hardcover
by Brooke Smith (Author), Madeline Kloepper (Illustrator)
A touching tale of a grandmother and her granddaughter exploring and cherishing the natural world.
Words, the woods, and the world illuminate this quest to save the most important pieces of our language--by saving the very things they stand for. When Mimi finds out her favorite words--simple words, like apricot, blackberry, buttercup--are disappearing from the English language, she elects her granddaughter Brook as their Keeper. And did you know? The only way to save words is to know them. - With its focus on the power of language and social change, The Keeper of Wild Words is ideal for educators and librarians as well as young readers.Brooke Smith is a poet and children's book author. She lives in Bend, Oregon, at the end of a long cinder lane. Brooke writes daily from her studio, looking at the meadow and many of the wild words she cherishes.
