Synopsis
From the former U.S. Poet Laureate and author of the national bestseller Remember, this luminous and lyrical picture book reminds readers to cherish their place in the world and make a positive impact wherever they go.
We live in a circle; it begins at sunrise.
Go out to greet the day, to respect, to honor.
Beginning at sunrise, this poetic picture book follows a young girl and her faithful dog through the sacred rhythm of a day. She gathers light in the morning and moves through the day, giving thanks, remembering her loved ones, and releasing the day's worries. Her journey is a reminder that we all exist as part of a circle—ever moving, ever bright.
In reverent and rhythmic lines, celebrated poet and member of the Mvskoke Nation Joy Harjo has penned an original poem in which she invites readers to live each day with gratitude, respect, and honor. With rich illustrations by Anishinaabe artist Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, Gathering the Light is a poignant affirmation of the connection between all beings and the responsibility to care for one another.
