Synopsis

In this remarkable volume of poetry for two voices, a companion to I Am Pheonix, Paul Fleischman verbally re-creates the Booming / boisterous / joyful noise of insects. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. Eric Beddow's vibrant drawings send each insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own unique way.

Paul Fleischman has created not only a clear and fascinating guide to the insect world - from chrysalid butterflies to whirligig beetles - but and exultant celebration of life.
