Much of our favourite children's poetry comes in collections, but occasionally gorgeous lyrical verse for kids comes in the form of a single poem that is a storybook in itself. And in the case of Laura Purdie Salas' trio of books, "A Leaf/Water/A Rock Can Be..." (2012-15), these beautiful poems are also that rarest of early childhood treasures: POETIC NON-FICTION! Illustrated dreamily by Violeta Dabija with some of the most stunning artwork I've seen, each book explores an aspect of nature in all of its myriad uses and forms. **Note: I have to admit that Laura is a former client of mine, but while I adore her, I have no extra bias here. These multi-awatd-winning and -nominated books are objectively spectacular!! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #aleafcanbe #watercanbe #arockcanbe #violetadabija #millbrookpress #poetry #poems #poetryforchildren #booksinverse #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionbooksforkids #nonfictionforkids #childrensnonfiction #scienceforkids #sciencebooksforkids #earlychildhoodeducation #earlyyearsstem #sciencepoetry #naturepoetry #booksaboutnature #nature #water #leaves #rocks #childhoodunplugged #growingreaders https://www.instagram.com/p/BztncVLHPtF/?igshid=1jsu08647c522
