Recenzii

The poems are wide-ranging and varied with wonderful use of language."
a delightful gathering of cross-cultural poems...These bouncy, almost visual poems are a joy for age 9+ or to read aloud to younger children.
This is a welcome re-issue of poet Grace Nichols' first two volumes of poetry for children and the two combined make for a newly fascinating book. The rhythms and language of these poems will continue to delight children many of whom will have their own inspirations to share!
