Celebrated educator and acclaimed poet SARAH KAY will be at Browsers on Thursday, May 24 at 7:00 PM!

In her latest and third single-poem volume, ALL OUR WILD WONDER (Hachette Books; March 13, 2018), illustrated by Sophia Janowitz, renowned poet Sarah Kay pays tribute to her most influential teacher, Mrs. Ribeiro, while also celebrating the importance of teachers everywhere.

Publishing in time for Women’s History Month (March), National Poetry Month (April), and National Teacher Appreciation Day (May 8), ALL OUR WILD WONDER is a vibrant tribute to extraordinary educators and a celebration of learning. It’s the perfect gift for the mentors in our lives and for students who found their passion within (and beyond) a classroom. This charming, illustrated poem reminds us of the beauty in, and importance of, cultivating curiosity, creativity, and confidence in others.
