<p><strong>A book that will inspire readers to connect more deeply with the natural world, from the award winning author of <em>Sometimes I Feel Like A Fox</em>.</strong></p><p>Inspired by the expression “once in a blue moon,” Danielle Daniel has created a book of short poems, each one describing a rare or special experience that turns an ordinary day into a memorable one. She describes the thrill of seeing a double rainbow, the Northern Lights or a shooting star as well as quieter pleasures such as spotting a turtle basking in the sun or a family of ducks waddling across the road.</p><p>In accessible language and delightful, naïve images, <em>Once in a Blue Moon</em> celebrates the magical moments that can be found in the beauty and wonders of nature.</p><p>With the same simple yet sophisticated design as Danielle’s award-winning picture book <em>Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox, </em>this book is a very accessible and inviting introduction to poetry for young readers.</p><p><strong>Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:</strong></p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.5<br />Recognize common types of texts (e.g., storybooks, poems).</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7<br />With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4<br />Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.4<br />Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.7<br />Explain how specific aspects of a text's illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting)</p>
