(Gifted) BOOK REVIEW: On Wings of Words: The Extraordinary Life of Emily Dickinson by Jennifer Berne, illustrated by Becca Stadtlander 🦋 . Happy release day to this gorgeous picture book biography! 📖 I was very excited to read this because I knew very little about Emily Dickinson’s life. What I especially love about the story, is that it’s written very lyrically to match Emily’s love for words. Another lovely touch is the quotes from Emily’s works that are integrated into the story. The illustrations are gorgeous, focusing mostly on the passion Emily had for the natural world. 🌿 Sometimes the artwork borders on fantastical to reflect the great imagination Emily had, as the beautiful cover shown here highlights! 😍 . Though I appreciate poetry, I often struggle to understand it fully, so I do wonder if children will be able to grasp some of the quotes scattered throughout the story. I do like that some information about reading and writing poetry is given at the back of the book to help kids get into it. . Thank you @abramschronicle for sending me a review copy! . . . #JohannasReviews #onwingsofwords #jenniferberne #beccastadtlander #emilydickinson #poetry #picturebook #picturebooks #childrensnonfiction #childrensbiography #illustrator #bookstagram #cozyaesthetic #momstagram #kidlit #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #bookcover #bookcoverart #beautifulbooks #kidliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uuQBFAvdn/?igshid=f8i1knsfcyd7
