Blooming beneath the Sun

Christina Rossetti

This collection brings together poems by Christina Rossetti, selected by Ashley Bryan. The rhythmic poems describe the surrounding world and invite imaginative responses, including the pleasures and changing experiences of childhood. Bryan accompanies the poems with energetic cut-paper collage art in vivid colors. The book joins Rossetti’s brief poetic texts with collage illustrations that move dynamically across the pages, creating a visual setting for poems about the world children see and imagine.
