O shadowed sliver moon
In the turquoise evening sky,
Light me a star
To see the world by.
Light me a wishing star,
Trace a black pine,
Show me a still pond
And far hills to climb.

35 POEMS WITH WATERCOLOR ILLUSTRATIONS
Pictures of the Pinelands is likely to find itself among the favorite books of any teacher, parent, or grandparent eager to foster an appreciation of art, creative writing, nature, and — most of all — family.
The New Jersey Pine Barrens are one of the most magical and unusual areas of the country. Artist Mary Winn would often take her 7-year-old grandchild Laura with her on her walks along the Pineland paths. Mary would pause to paint her impressions along the way, or the two would compose poems together about what they saw. A beautiful hardcover book, Pictures of the Pinelands holds a record of those walks, in verse and watercolor.
COMPLETE READINGS ON CD
Years later, Mary’s daughter Diana Winn produced an accompanying CD, featuring a child Laura’s age with a remarkable talent for reading poetry. Cerridwyn McCaffrey’s young, expressive voice makes the work accessible to children of any age. Looking at the paintings and listening to the poems may even inspire them to create art of their own.
