Dear Wandering Wildebeest by Irene Latham
Spend a day at a water hole on the African grasslands.
Welcome wildebeest / and beetle, / Oxpecker and lion. / This water hole is yours. / It offers you oasis / beside its shrinking shores.
From dawn to nightfall, animals come and go. Giraffes gulp, wildebeest graze, impalas leap, vultures squabble, and elephants wallow. Irene Latham's gorgeous poems are accompanied by additional facts that provide further details about the animals and their environment. Imaginative illustrations from Anna Wadham complete this delightful collection.
Irene Latham is the author of more than a dozen poetry, fiction, and picture books, including the Charlotte Huck Honor Book Can I Touch Your Hair? After reading Sy Montgomery's The Soul of an Octopus, she became enamored with octopuses and won the 2016 ILA Lee Bennett Hopkins Promising Poet Award. She enjoys sending and receiving postcards just as much as Agnes. Irene Latham's website is www.irenelatham.com.
