Gathering the Light

From the U.S. Poet Laureate and author of the award winning picture book, Remember, this luminous and lyrical story reminds listeners to cherish their place in the world and make a positive impact wherever they go.

We live in a circle; it begins at sunrise. Go out to greet the day, to respect, to honor.

Beginning at sunrise, this poetic audiobook follows a young girl and her faithful dog through the sacred rhythm of a day. She gathers light in the morning and moves through the day, giving thanks, remembering her loved ones, and releasing the day's worries. Her journey is a reminder that we all exist as part of a circle—ever moving, ever bright.

In reverent and rhythmic lines, celebrated poet and member of the Mvskoke Nation, Joy Harjo has penned an original poem in which she invites listeners to live each day with gratitude, respect, and honor. Gathering the Light is a poignant affirmation of the connection between all beings and the responsibility to care for one another.
