Review
"Thick, creamy paper and a clean but vivacious design, combined with Davenier's friendly, thoroughly charming ink and watercolor illustrations make this fine collection of Dickinson's poetry an appealing gift for children or adults." - Karin Snelson, children's YA editor, Shelf Awareness
"I'm already a HUGE Emily Dickinson fan so the poems, to me, are wonderful. But, what sets this book apart are the whimsical illustrations. They bring the poems to life! Especially for children." - Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup
"It's a solidly good book in a promising new series - and one I was happy to stumble upon this week, as Dickinson is so much balm for one's soul." - Julie Danielson, kirkusreviews.com
"This arresting edition makes for a wonderful introduction to Dickinson's poetry that's sure to captivate all ages." - Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Dr. Snively has given readings and lectures at the Salem Athenaeum, Marlboro College, University of Louisville, Wesleyan University, the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, the Monadnock Lyceum Lecture series in Peterborough, NH, and elsewhere. A guide at the Emily Dickinson Museum, Snively wrote and narrated the films Seeing New Englandly, and My Business is to Sing, produced by Ernest Urvater, in the series Angles of a Landscape. She regularly leads discussions on various aspects of Dickinson for the museum's monthly poetry group. Her first novel, The Heart Has Many Doors, about Dickinson's love affair with Judge Otis Phillips Lord, was published in February 2015, by White River Press.
Christine Davenier worked as a teacher for three years before illustrating her first book in France in 1988. Since 1999, Christine has also been illustrating books in the United States.
