Book description
How can we help children feel more confident? With poetry Give children a daily dose of hope simply by sharing the 40 ekphrastic poems in this book. Inspired by a wide variety of diverse and inclusive black-and-white photos, these poems explore the many places where hope pops up in our lives: when we play a sport, water a garden, do volunteer work, visit a hospital, or even when we take a test.The voices in this book represent popular names in the children's poetry community and new talents, too: Verrena Diane Anderson, Dolores Andral, Marcie Flinchum Atkins, Rebecca Balc rcel, Robyn Hood Black, Sandy Brehl, Joseph Bruchac, Rose Cappelli, Kelly Conroy, Patricia Cooley, Cynthia Cotten, Mary E. Cronin, Linda A. Dryfhout, Alyssa Eisner, Joanne Emery, Lauren Emick, Janet Clare Fagal, Patricia J. Franz, Theresa Gaughan, Stephanie Gimble, Sherilyn Howard, Elizabeth Kuelbs, Jone Rush MacCulloch, Vikram Madan, J. David Martinez, Rochelle Melander, Kenn Nesbitt, Abby Oqueli, Lou Piccolo, Deborah Reidy, Suma Subramaniam, Linda Picaro Tarantino, Pamela Taylor, Linda Kulp Trout, Joyce Uglow, Sylvia Vardell, Vicki Wilke, Matthew Winter, Janet Wong, and Sarah Ziman.As with other books in the "WHAT IS" series (WHAT IS A FRIEND?, WHAT IS A FAMILY?), as well as our books in the "THINGS WE" series (THINGS WE DO; THINGS WE EAT; THINGS WE FEEL; THINGS WE WEAR), 100% of the profits will be donated to the IBBY Children in Crisis Fund.
