“Remember the sky that you were born under, / know each of the star’s stories.” So begins the poem Remember, which implores the listener to know their origins, their communion with all things. Poetry, art, and place have the power to transcend generations, and reinforce one’s sense of self and connection with others. Join the original author Joy Harjo, an award-winning artist, Michaela Goade, and an educator, Mandy Smoker Broaddus, in conversation as they discuss adapting this poem into a picture book, the connections between poetry and art, and their power to impact readers of any age.
