Recenzijas
"Weil's lines land with the elegant profundity of a child's earnest question: "Why does the sun shine?" Her poems shimmer and shake, will elicit joy and whimsy. Cherry Moon is a book to be read out of doors, surrounded with your loved ones, whether human, animal, or plant." -- Daegen Miller, author, This Radical Land "Cherry Moon feels like exactly what we need right now. A magical journey, grounded in natural beauty and a sense of communal wonder and hope." -- Steven Camden, poet and CLIPPA poetry prize judge "We found this a wonderfully evocative collection of poems a joyous celebration of nature and language. The playful exuberance of the text and complementary illustrations have immense child-appeal, but there is also an underlying thoughtfulness about the environment which parents and teachers sharing the book with younger children will appreciate. This is a book to be read and reread." -- Valerie Bloom, poet and CLIPPA poetry prize judge
