Product Description:
'Are you a scientist?' I ask.
Marianne stops writing and looks up. 'No, I’m not a scientist — I’m a poet.'
'Oh,' I reply. I’ve never met a poet before. 'What, exactly, does a poet do?' I ask her.
'For me, being a poet begins with watching.'
On a trip to the zoo, young Jonathan returns a lost hat to Marianne, a woman who wears all black and scribbles notes in a little book. When Marianne invites him to tour the zoo with her, Jonathan makes a new friend and learns that he too can write poetry.
With lighthearted illustrations and a poetically told story, this picture book about poet Marianne Moore offers readers a glimpse of the writing process and encourages them to become writers too.
