-Jane Beal, Ph.D., poet and author of Sanctuary, Rising, and Song of the Selkie
In lively rhythms and rhymes that young children love, d. ellis phelps' words gone wild is a whimsical, engaging collection. In poems that celebrate mud pies, cats, and mothers, there are clever solutions for sibling squabbles as well as a warning about the magic spell of a puppy's breath. Any child would love to end the day listening to the poem soon I must go to bed with its soft and lyrical images of setting sun and rising moon, a mud hen, and a toad. With children spending more and more time on screens, words gone wild will entice a child outdoors and to activate their own wild imagination.
-Mobi Warren, retired K-12 teacher, author of Thread and Nectar and The Bee Maker, a novel for middle-grade readers
When Emily Dickinson said, Blessed are they that play, she could have been referring to d. ellis phelps, with her delectable collection words gone wild, which is chock-full of tantalizing sounds and images. Dedicated to her grandchildren, the poems of this book will delight any spirit of any age!
-Wendy Barker, author of Gloss and many other collections
