Today is my granddaughter's first birthday and tomorrow is Earth Day! Since it is National Poetry Month I want to share one of my all time favorite poem books with you. This is a book that makes me reflect on both my granddaughter and the earth, a book that remind me of the importance of our connections with others and our world. It has very few words, like many poems, but every time I read this book it's illustrations and text touch my heart. I hope you enjoy this video of "All the World" written by Liz Garton Scanlon and illustrated by Marla Frazee as much as I do. Pay attention to the illustrations as you listen to the words being sung, they share a deeper level of the story that the words don't tell. I miss all of you but know that even though we can't be together at school we are still connected like this poem say, all the world is all of us.
