Mother Earth Father Sky : Poems of Our Planet

Millions of years have passed, but the earth has remained a singular miracle.

Poets have written of its wonders--as well as of our failure to live up to our responsibilities as caretakers of the planet.

In this sweeping anthology for young readers, award-winning author Jane Yolen has collected poems of C.S.

Lewis, Joseph Langland, William Stafford, Christina Rossetti, and others who have paid tribute to our fragile world.

These thirty-five voices cry with joy, grief, and hope for "our Mother the Earth, our Father the Sky."
