dormant volcano—
but at sunrise each day
it blazes
For centuries, haiku has offered meditation on the grace
and majesty of nature. In Climbing the Volcano, old
meets new as a young protagonist uses the poetic form to voice
his wonder. While hiking on Oregon’s South Sister volcano in
the
Cascade Mountain Range, he and his family encounter tiny toads,
colorful butterflies, soaring birds of prey, and so much more
to see, do, and feel.
Climbing the Volcano is a call to adventure in the
natural world, and a wonderful introduction to poetic forms.
Young readers will be inspired to summit their own peaks and to
find their own voices to share what they discover there.
Book, 48 pages.
