This time
of year I always love coming across books that would make great Mother’s Day
Gifts, graduation gifts, just because gifts, etc. and All Our Wild Wonder, by
Sarah Kay, is just one of those books. I first heard of Sarah Kay when her poem
she wrote for Hannah Baker of 13 Reasons Why became popular on YouTube.
All Our Wild Wonder is the first works by Sarah Kay that I’ve read and I absolutely
loved it. The descriptive words, and rhythm of the poem, and beautiful
illustrations are simply enchanting. It is a wonderfully written poem that
spans all age groups, provokes a feeling of thought, nostalgia, demonstrates
the different views of childhood and adulthood, and how much one individual can
impact someone.
“I pray
for patience. I pray for wisdom – to find a way to tame all the peculiar
animals of this world,
to coax
them enough to brave the elevator, to see the doors slide open to my students’
gaping mouths,
all their
wild wonder”
All Our
Wild Wonder is a wonderful tribute to educators and mentors and demonstrates
the joy of learning. A timeless story that will span generations – it will
encourage curiosity and creativity in the young and make those in adult realize
how much their love, support, and kind words can impact those around them and
those who look up to them.
Suena interesante.
