Serengeti: Plains of Grass

Award-winning science poet Leslie Bulion presents 'Serengeti: Plains of Grass,' a lyrical exploration of Africa's Serengeti Plain during the rainy season. Using interconnected verses inspired by an East African Swahili poem form—the utendi—Bulion's poetry mimics the intertwined ecosystem of the Serengeti. The book follows the great migration of animals like wildebeest and zebras, offering young readers a glimpse into this vibrant and dynamic ecosystem. Accompanied by lush gouache illustrations by Becca Stadtlander and complemented by scientific notes, this book provides a comprehensive look at the Serengeti's wildlife and is ideal for cross-curricular learning.
