A Leaf is a Letter From a Tree

by Joan Walsh Anglund

A leaf is a letter from a tree
That writes, in gold, 
"Remember me!"

Today is the birthday of the American poet and children's book author Joan Walsh Anglund, born on January 3, 1926.

 

Today's Garden words were featured on the podcast:

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
A rustic gift wrapped in brown paper and decorated with a wood slice, greenery, and a red berry, next to a spool of twine and a blank sheet of torn white paper on a weathered wooden surface.

    My favorite story time poem. Short enough for even the youngest to remember as they loyally brought a yellow leaf in each week until. It snowed. Essex Vermont Librarian 1980 to 2012
