Nature's Apprentices (soft cover)

The Magic of the Peatlands

There's a melody, if you pay heed,
calling you to follow Nature's lead--
a familiar tune, a chorused creed,
a song of both grown plant and seed.

As the fluted magic on the wind floats by,
you might find yourself only insect-high--
or even too small to be seen by the eye!
(But how else could you ride a dragonfly?)

The Council of Beings has asked me to greet
young readers who would like to meet
nature's apprentices. Their challenging feat
is to strive to save the moss and peat.
