Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From Michael Bedard and two-time Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Barbara Cooney comes a story about American poet Emily Dickinson and the young girl who befriends her.
What if your neighbor were the reclusive poet Emily Dickinson? And what if one day she sent a letter inviting your mother to pay her a visit? A little girl who lives across the street from the mysterious Emily gets a chance to meet the poet when her mother goes to play the piano for her. There, the girl sneaks a gift up to Emily, who listens from the landing, and in return, Emily gives the girl a precious gift of her own--the gift of poetry.
"A Doubleday Book for Young Readers."
Includes an afterword about Emily Dickinson (p. [35]).
"The illustrations for this book were painted on China silk mounted on illustration board and covered in two coats of gesso. Liquitex acrylic paints, prismacolor, and Derwent colored pencils and pastels were used. The book is set in 16-point ITC Goudy Old Style. The typography is by Lynn Braswell"--Colophon
When a mother and child pay a visit to their reclusive neighbor Emily, who stays in her house writing poems, there is an exchange of special gifts.
