‘A companion to ‘I Am Phoenix’, this marvelous, lyrical evocation of the insect world demands accolades. With subjects ranging from grasshoppers to butterflies, there is variety in tone, mood, and theme. There are 14 poems in the handsomely designed volume, with wonderfully interpretive illustrations. Each selection is a gem, polished to perfection’.–‘Horn Book’. 1989 Newbery Medal winner; 1988 ALA Best Books for Young Adults; 1988 Notable Trade Books in the Language Arts..
