Publisher's summary

US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo’s iconic poem "Remember" invites young listeners to pause and reflect on the wonder of the world around them, and to remember the importance of their place in it.

Remember the sky you were born under,

Know each of the star's stories.

Remember the moon, know who she is.

Remember the sun's birth at dawn,

That is the strongest point of time.

So begins the renowned poem that encourages young listeners to reflect on family, nature, and their heritage. In simple and direct language, Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke Nation, urges listeners to pay close attention to who they are, the world they were born into, and how all inhabitants on earth are connected.

This timeless poem is a true celebration of life and our human role within it.
