Written by Walt Whitman & illustrated by Loren Long [Ohio]

Originally composed in 1873, this evocative poem is beautifully and timelessly recast by illustrator Loren Long to tell the story of a young boy who dreams of outer space. 32 pages

"The book's almost reverential pacing matches the rhythm of Whitman's poem and, in effect, forces young readers to slow down and savor the words." -Publishers Weekly (All Ages)
