Description
This thoughtfully crafted anthology is perfect for children new to verse and for young poetry fans seeking out new favorites. Explore poetry from a diverse selection of contemporary and historical poets, covering a broad range of topics—from personal subjects like emotions and family, to the wonders of the natural environment. Carefully selected works encourage children to see the poetry in everything and to embrace the beauty of their everyday lives.
Prompts and activities inspire children to create their own poetry, and devices like rhyme, repetition, and alliteration are introduced and explained in a fun and accessible manner.

Featured Reviews
Vidya T, Reviewer
With over 150 poems spread across eight different categories (like Family and Friends, Feelings, and Science and Art), there is something for everyone.
I love that Sylvia Vardell has thoughtfully selected poems from poets across time and geographies. Linda Sue Park and Vikram Madan share the pages with Emily Dickinson and Jack Prelutsky among other poets. Backmatter includes great poetry activities to inspire readers to write poems, and also more about basic poetry terms and such. With so many wonderful poems within (some I know and love and so many others new to me), I cannot pick a favorite here, so it is easier to say, I love the whole, including the delightful little illustrations from Sonny Ross accompanying the poems.
