Download or read book Household Tales of Moon and Water written by Nancy Willard and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 1987 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of forty-four poems by a Newbery Medal winner is a quiet celebration of domestic life. Willard describes personal events-the birth of her child, an imaginary conversation with her small son, tending her garden-and each poem becomes a story that elevates the commonplace and renders the ordinary special. "Willard is full of surprises. She writes about the natural world with the vigorous specificity of someone newly come upon it, original and wise, all at once" (Maxine Kumin).
