Leslie Bulion comes to Byrd's Books May 31st
Join us for a fun afternoon Sunday May 31st at 4:00pm with author Leslie Bulion as we enjoy hearing the poetry recited from her book, Nature's Remarkable Partners. These wild poems for two voices offer young readers an up-to-date peek at an intriguing array of symbiotic partnerships in nature.
Reading aloud these clever verses for two voices will help young learners engage with and enjoy these marvels of nature, and notes in the back of the book shed more light on the diversity of poetic forms. In addition, brief science notes accompanying each featured partnership, and comprehensive back matter provides more opportunities for study. Robert Meganck's witty drawings add another layer of fun to this humorous gallery of perfect partners. This collection is ideal for cross-curricular learning, including units on biology, mutualism, and poetry. Other popular science poetry collections by this creative team are Superlative Birds, Amphibian Acrobats, and Spi-ku, a book about the trick-filled world of spiders"-- Provided by publisher.
About the author:
Leslie Bulion creates award-winning science poetry steeped in hands-on learning experiences, nature observation, research, humor, and imagery in a variety of poetic forms. Her nine other illustrated collections invite readers on multi-layered science adventures investigating spiders, birds, sea creatures, insects, amphibians, and more. Her two newest science poetry books, Serengeti: Plains of Grass and Galapagos: Islands of Change take readers on poetic tours of two of Earth's remarkable ecosystems. Leslie's graduate marine science work and her years as a school social worker inform her science poetry and her three science-infused novels for young readers.
When Leslie isn't working on a new book, you'll find her exploring local nature with her binoculars and camera, on a far-flung wildlife adventure, strapping on SCUBA gear with her dive-buddy husband, or romping with her pup Wynnie.
