Anna's Table

By Bunting, Eve & Morley, Taia

Publishers Summary:
In this heartwarming story, little Anna gathers bits of nature she and her family find, and she collects them on a special table given to her by her beloved aunt. Esteemed children's author Eve Bunting shows us the poetry of beach rocks and sea shells, mouse bones and dried pomegranates, a shark's tooth, an old bird's nest, and a piece of tree bark shaped like a hand. Young readers will delight in the treasures found on Anna's Table. Anna reminds readers of all ages "how clever nature is," through growth, death and rebirth. A subtle celebration of the cycle of life, this story is about the incredible bond of children to nature, the miracle of family, and a belief in the beauty of all things.
