    Summary:

    Poet Naomi Shihab Nye shines a spotlight on the things we cast away, from plastic water bottles to refugees, in this collection of original and never before published poems. With poems about food wrappers, plastic straws, refugee children, the environment, community, responsibility to the planet, politics, immigration, garbage trucks, all that we carry and all that we discard, this is a rich, engaging, moving, and sometimes humorous collection.
