Byrd Baylor Livres

    Byrd Baylor a toujours vécu dans le Sud-Ouest, principalement dans le sud de l'Arizona, près de la frontière mexicaine. Elle se sent chez elle parmi les falaises, les mesas, les rochers et les vastes ciels du désert du Sud-Ouest. Les tempêtes du désert la réconfortent. Le peuple Tohono O’odham, anciennement connu sous le nom de Papago, sont ses voisins et ses amis proches. Elle a concentré bon nombre de ses écrits sur le paysage, les peuples et les valeurs de cette région. À travers ses livres de poésie en prose rythmée, principalement destinés aux enfants, elle célèbre la beauté de la nature et son propre sentiment de rapport avec elle. Ses livres sont remplis des lieux et des gens qu'elle connaît. Elle considère ces livres comme ses propres chansons d'amour privées pour l'endroit qu'elle appelle sa maison.

      With a lot of practice, a young boy learns from his old teacher how to listen to the sounds and songs of the natural world. When you know “the other way to listen,” you can hear the wild-flower seed bursting open. You hear rocks murmuring and hills singing, and it seems like the most natural thing in the world. Of course, it takes a lot of practice, and you can’t be in a hurry. Most people never hear these things at all. This is the story of an old man who had a special way of hearing and of a child who hoped to learn his secrets. Byrd Baylor and Peter Parnall have combined their unique, award-winning talents to celebrate the world of nature.
