This inspiring tribute to beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Mary Oliver, invites readers of all ages to wander, wonder, and awaken the wild inside them. Perfect for fans of Patrick McDonnell's Me...Jane and anyone who loves language and nature.

From the time she was a young child, Mary Oliver felt most at home outside. She loved to wander the woods, build tiny grass and stick houses, and climb in, feeling part of all the beauty around her. When she discovered poetry, it gave her language to voice the wild she felt inside. Could she write poems illuminating the wonder of the world?

This gentle, soul-stirring story, with sweeping, sensorial illustrations, invites readers of all ages to pause the busyness and overstimulation of daily life and immerse in beauty and quiet. Anyone familiar with Mary Oliver will love this impressionistic portrait that lovingly evokes her essence. Children encountering her for the first time will meet a friend. Nature lovers will find a kindred spirit. The perfect gift to nurture the wild inside all of us.
