Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Jane Yolen offers 14 odes to birds in Wild Wings: Poems for Young People, photographed by her son, Jason Stemple, the team behind Color Me a Rhyme: Nature Poems for Young People. In a pattern repeated throughout the volume, the opening spread pictures an elegant white egret against a background of slate-gray water and patchy foam. "A cloud of feathers above the feathered pond an eye that does not see beyond the fish at its feet the food in its beak the fear in its throat the man in the boat." A caption provides the bird's scientific name and an explanation of the egret's appeal to plume hunters.

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-"As if sunshine fell down on a branch, then gathered itself together for one solid moment, the warbler brightens spring." How compact a sentence, how startling its imagery-especially when paired with exemplary photography. This is an exotic aviary with strong images: the solitary anhinga at sunset, the tiny "ornaments of spring" we call swallows, the "reed acrobat" green heron, and the ibis, which Yolen heralds as " the souls of our lost dead those we knew, and those who came before we could know them." There are inherent feelings in these images, ranging from jubilant and joyous to ominous and humorous. Has anyone ever considered birds as " small, dark stains; tubed paint squeezed onto the green canvas"? Young readers will now. In addition to reading a one- or two-line caption about each animal, they will also witness up close the joy of birds and photography, and be inspired by one of the genre's best.
