I Wonder by Margarita Engle

The poem, I Wonder, helps us imagine how tiny animals and plants can grow into enormous creatures or vast forests. Sometimes the smallest beings grow into the most magnificent and mighty!

Margarita Engle is the author of numerous novels, memoirs and picture books. Born in Los Angeles, much of her poetry is influenced by her mother’s Cuban heritage.

Imagine you plant a tree at your home today. What will the tree look like in 50 years? What do you think your house, neighbourhood, and city will be 50 years in the future?
