For me, this was just an okay poetry collection. I liked the illustrations and some of the poems, but in some cases it shows that the author is fairly young.

Looking at life through the eyes of a 12-year-old, everything seems a little simpler. Life may not always be easy, but there is companionship and beauty all around.
The best part of this book is that it is a real example of how you can be a poet -- or any kind of writer or artistic creator -- at any age. I thought that the poems were pretty good for a 12-year-old, and the illustrations were decent, too. Sharma obviously loves to write poems, and I hope that his voice continues to develop as he continues writing. I didn’t connect with and love a lot of the poems, but they aren’t bad.

I’m giving 3 stars not because she’s younger or the writing style. These poems are just not my types of poems. However this is a book I would by for my stepdaughter I think it’s important for kids to feel like other kids feel the same things they feel.
