Gift from Nana.
Nice story about a little girl who lived next door to Emily Dickinson. Note in the back says that while Emily was reclusive with other adults, she was fond of neighborhood children. ( )

33 months - a fictional account of a little girls encounter with Emily Dickenson although to be honest it could be any reclusive person as there is no real information to be gained about the poet. Still a beautiful story and as always wonderful illustrations by Barbara Cooney.

A couple weeks after returning this book to the library I found a copy at the thrift store and had to have it. ( )

great book about a girl who lives across from the wonderful Emily Dickinson. Gives students a preview of who is emily dickinson. ( )

This is an imagined story of a little girl's contact with Emily Dickinson. The illustrations are beautiful. The writing is very poetic and could be used as a mentor text in the classroom; "Mother wore her new silk dress, the one that whispered when she walked. the dress I wore was white, like the disappearing snow. . . . The road was full of mud and mirrors where the sky peeked at itself." Lovely. ( )
