When the sun rises, it lifts the curtain on the horizon, ushering in a brand-new day. And like a new day, each horizon is original. Sun, clouds, sky, water, even skyscrapers shape the distance and offer us new views and the chance to think about what lies beyond. Renowned poet and author Jane Yolen gives us her insights on horizons great and small in fourteen new poems. Inspired by Jason Stemple's stunning photographs of vistas found in deserts, swamps, mountains, and other scenic places, Ms. Yolen, in thoughtful, playful verse, allows us to imagine what happens when earth meets sky.
Jane Yolen is the author of more than two hundred books for young readers and adults. She is coauthor with her daughter, Heidi E.Y. Stemple, of Dear Mother, Dear Daughter: Poems for Young People, published by Wordsong/Boyds Mills Press. Jane lives in St. Andrews, Scotland, and Hatfield, Massachusetts.
Jason Stemple, a free-lance photographer, provided the photographs for Wild Wings; Color Me a Rhyme; Once Upon Ice; Water Music; and Snow, Snow--all poetry books for young people written by his mother, Jane Yolen. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.

Horizons: Poems As Far As the Eye Can See
Personal response- What I liked most about the poetry book was that it has amazing photographs of sunsets, deserts, and mountains that go along beautifully with the poetry about each photograph. I find it fascinating the illustrator decided to go with actual pictures instead of paintings or pastels which makes the book unique. Math vocabulary is used in the book with the horizon poem (as there are fourteen small poems) and metaphors in the sunset horizons poem when it says, " When the ball of fire touches earth...Nothing but night can put it all out." The picture of a sun setting helped me infer that the ball of fire is the sun and it sets when night arrives. Sunsets are my favorite time of day so that is another reason why I liked the book.
Purpose- Second grade would be an appropriate grade level because the poems are not difficult to read and provide good examples of figurative language like similes and metaphors. A science lesson on horizons and how the sun creates different colors in the sky at different times of day would be fun for the children to learn and read about.
