Yolen has given us so many beautiful literary gifts, this lyrical work is absolutely breathtaking. The pages are small works of art and nicely complement the lovely words written thereon. ( )

Water Music by Jane Yolen is a book of poems created in response to the emotions she felt while listening to the different sounds of water and the different feelings she felt with the touch of water. Some of her poems are in response to the splash of the waves, while the trickling of a pond inspired other poems. She gives a different perspective on the way that water sounds and feels, and the affect it has on us. ( )
