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.

Her journey is a reminder that we all exist as part of a circle—ever moving, ever bright.

Gathering the Light is a poignant affirmation of the connection between all beings and the responsibility to care for one another.
