For twenty-five years the award-winning poet Naomi Shihab Nye has been teaching poetry workshops in schools across the country, in grades one through twelve. The 100 poems by young people featured in this collection, selected from the hundreds she has saved, are among her personal favorites-and readers of all ages will soon see why. Memorable, moving, vivid, prickly, funny, and always honest, these short poems speak to the heart and will delight, surprise, and surely inspire young writers, teachers, and poetry lovers of all ages. The book features glorious full-color pictures by Ashley Bryan as well as an introduction, afterword, indexes, excerpts from a poet's journal, and suggestions for further reading.
