In Praise of Mystery A favorite book of both my mom and me is The Conference of the Birds, but not just any edition— the one illustrated by Peter Sis. We now have a new illustrated-by-Peter-Sis book to add to our list of favorites: In Praise of Mystery by poet laureate Ada Limon and illustrated by Peter Sis. This is in the form of a picture book, but don’t let its format fool you into thinking this is a for-children-only book. Ada Limon was commissioned to write the poem “In Praise of Mystery” to go beyond Earth. As she explains in the Author’s Note at the end of the book: “The poem In Praise of Mystery was written to make a journey beyond our planet. Engraved on NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, it will travel 1.8 billion miles from Earth to Jupiter’s second moon, called Europa.” Read the poem and hear the poet read it herself. To see the illustrations created by Peter Sis to accompany Limón’s poem, head down to Beagle and Wolf and we’ll hook you up. P.S. Did you know that Milkweed (one of the dynamite publishers of oh-so-good poetry) has a poetry playlist on libro.fm?? You can check it out here. When you click the link, you’ll see a pile of poetry books and the top book happens to be……. You Are Here by Ada Limón. |
