Emily Dickinson’s story is written in a very warm and fun way. It’s in a style of comic filled with vivid illustrations, short text and selected poems.
Emily was passionate about botany which she loved exploring in true nature. She did it with her big dog who was supposed to protect her.
When she listened to nature, her second passion woke up within her – poetry.
The story focuses on her early years before she became a recluse. It brings her adventurous and joyful side which truly shines through in this story.
The last pages are in a form of vignettes summarizing the years 1830-1886: how she wrote poetry, made her own books, loved baking, and about her siblings and community.
The target audience for this book is 8-12 years. For proficient readers it will be a breeze, and for those who need more encouragement it will be an enjoyable journey. With simple text and very warm illustrations, the story is presented in a fun way with character that engages and inspires to explore the nature, to be authentic, and to follow one’s heart.
It’s an amazing inspiration for young readers.
