2018 Cybils Poetry Nominee
This collection is a celebration of the joy books and words can bring to life.
Thoughts: I love the ideas behind this book--to encourage kids to love reading and writing. Mora's Welcome and Note to Educators & Families both entice kids to try their hands at writing. My favorite poems are "Books and Me," "Library Magic," and "Writing Secrets." "Writing Secrets" especially is an invitation for readers to create their words and find joy in the creation. Colon's illustrations are joyful.
