In the book, A Place for Wonder: Reading and Writing Nonfiction in the Primary Grades by Byrd Baylor’s I found the poem ‘The Other Way to Listen’ (1997) and it had me hooked.

Don’t start with a mountain don’t start with the whole Pacific Ocean. Start with one seed pod or one horned toad or one handful of dirt. (15)
