This top quality American Apparel onesie features Whitman's famous line, screen-printed in child-safe ink on a dark green cotton base. It is available exclusively from Poets.org, and comes in XL, L (18-24 mo., 12-18 mo.) sizes.
The poet and critic Mark Doty writes about "A child said, What is the grass?":
Whitman tells us, "I don't know what it is any more than he does," but then proceeds to spend the rest of the poem telling us what it is. So having announced his position of ignorance, he is now open to the generation of possibilities.
This outfit is perfect for the next generation of poets and future readers in your life, for all to whom Whitman writes: "I consider'd long and seriously of you before you were born."
 Made in the USA. 100% cotton.
