A lyrical picture book biography about American poet Edna St.
Vincent Millay's childhood and the two sisters who inspired herGood
things come in threes, like peas like wishes like sisters.
Vincent-American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay-began writing and
publishing poetry as a child. She grew up in coastal Maine with her
two sisters and plenty of books, music, and nature, but often
without parents-her father left home when they were young, and her
mother, a nurse, traveled for months at a time to support them.
Vincent and her two sisters often had to fiercely fend for
themselves, from the daily to-do lists of keeping house, through
bitterly cold winters and blight, which proved to be good fodder
for indoor and outdoor adventures alike-and for poetry. Gorgeously
illustrated by Jasmin Dwyer, Starflower is a poetic picture book
biography as fiery and unconventional as Vincent herself.
