The Poet and the Smell
by Lote Vilma Vītiņa
One fine day a poem sneaks into the little Poet’s nose! No, it’s a cloud! Or perhaps it’s rain? In any case, at this moment the Poet discovers the bountiful and multidimensional world of smells, which inspires him to write poetry and share his discoveries with others. Lote Vilma Vītiņa’s book encourages children (and adults) to pay more attention to the smells, odors and aromas which are all around us – in the pantry, on the bus, on the street and in the park. Can you imagine the smells of a sea breeze, a barn, picking berries off a blackcurrant bush, or really screwing up? There is also a special surprise hidden in the book for little readers’ noses, which can not only be smelled in their imaginations, but also in real life!
