From Daybreak to Good Night: Poems for Children

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lynn Smith-Ary. Eleven of Sandburg's most accessible poems are arranged to suggest the cycle of a day on his farm. Two of Sandburg's favorite verses by other poets--Emily Dickinson's "Bee! I'm Expecting You!" and "The Horse Named Bill" by Red Lewis--also appear in the collection. Crayon and colored-pencil pictures, although occasionally awkward, have a homespun flair, depicting a multicultural group of children spending a happy day with Sandburg.
