is something to celebrate.
A collection of seventy-two poems written especially for girls
ages twelve and up by the much-honored and beloved poet Naomi
Shihab Nye. "A lovely, rich collection that promises to be a
lasting companion for young writers."--School Library Journal
(starred review)
First love, friendship, school, family, community, having a
crush, loving your mother and hating your mother, sense of self,
body image, hopes and dreams . . . these seventy-two poems by Naomi
Shihab Nye--written expressly for this collection--will speak to
girls of all ages. An honest, insightful, inspirational, and
amazing collection. "A wide age range will respond to these deeply
felt poems about everyday experiences, which encourage readers to
lean eagerly into their lives and delight in its passages."--ALA
Booklist (starred review). An introduction by the author is
included.
Growing up Latino in America means speaking two languages,
living two lives, learning the rules of two cultures. "Cool Salsa"
celebrates the tones, rhythms, sounds, and experiences of that
double life. Here are poems about families and parties, insults and
sad memories, hot dogs and mangos, the sweet syllables of Spanish
and the snag-toothed traps of English. Here is the glory--and
pain--of being Latino American.
Latino Americans hail from Cuba and California, Mexico and
Michigan, Nicaragua and New York, and editor Lori M. Carlson has
made sure to capture all of those accents. With poets such as
Sandra Cisneros, Martin Espada, Gary Soto, and Ed Vega, and a very
personal introduction by Oscar Hijuelos, this collection
encompasses the voices of Latino America. By selecting poems about
the experiences of teenagers, Carlson has given a focus to that
rich diversity; by presenting the poems both in their original
language and in translation, she has made them available to us
all.
As you move from memories of red wagons to dreams of orange trees
to fights with street gangs, you feel "Cool Salsa"'s musical and
emotional cross rhythms. Here is a world of exciting poetry for
you, y tu tambien.
Poetry comes alive on the basketball court. Feel the rough
roundness of the ball. Celebrate the soaring freedom of the dunk.
Savor the moment when all eyes focus on the long
three-pointer.
In dynamic words and pictures, award-winning author Robert
Burleigh and Caldecott Honor-artist Stephen T. Johnson capture the
energy and passion that electrifies every moment in a game of
hoops.
When words in verse are paired with the awesomeness of nature,
something magical happens! Beloved former U.S. Poet Laureate J.
Patrick Lewis curates an exuberant poetic celebration of the
natural world in this stellar collection of nature poems. From
trickling streams to deafening thunderstorms to soaring mountains,
discover majestic photography perfectly paired with contemporary
(such as Billy Collins), classics (such as Robert Frost), and
never-before-published works.
When I look at you I see much more than meets the eye. I'm not sure
how to list it all but with this book I'll try... This picture book
gently teaches us that we are all special and always more than
meets the eye. With charming words written by singer-songwriter
Rachel Emily -- who has penned countless number-one hits for the
likes of Wretch 32, Leona Lewis and Girls Aloud -- you can't help
but feel that you're reading something very special. From a brave
tiger, through to a dancing river and over to the forest filled
with oak trees, to rainbows that appear after the rain has gone and
swooping swallows who are a welcome sight; children, and adults
too, will cherish this stunning bedtime book that holds meaning for
so many different reasons. So let Rachel guide you through the
natural world and explain why there is beauty in everything around
you, and why YOU hold beauty within yourself too. Sometimes we all
need to be reminded about self confidence, learning to love
ourselves and how special we all are.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF! Well what would you
say if your brother kept whacking you with a spoon, or the spider
made it all the way up the toilet bowl or your mum made you wear
that horrible shirt? Find out in this fantastically funny
collection of poems all about growing up from the brilliant Michael
Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007 - 2009.
"The Bug House Family Restaurant" serves up a delightful platter of
poems featuring all kinds of creepy crawlers prepared by the finest

down. How about our chocolate-covered ants for dessert?
