From Daybreak to Good Night: Poems for Children

Conceived as a kind of literary field trip to Carl Sandburg's North Carolina farm, From Daybreak to Good Night: Poems for Children, edited by Lynn Smith-Ary, places 11 of the poet's works in a pastoral setting. Smith-Ary's artwork portrays the young, multiethnic guests running up the lane to meet their host, enjoying a breakfast of fried eggs and cavorting near the pond as Sandburg lays beneath a tree reading a favorite Emily Dickinson poem.
