In the best-selling tradition of This is New York and My New York,
this delightful book-length poem spreads the wonder and joy that is
New York, as told through the words of its children. As part of an
unprecedented series of workshops, New York City public school
students were challenged to write about what it was like to live,
learn, and play in New York City. The poems were collected and
edited into this book. Their words provide readers of all ages an
honest, kid's-eye view of the melting pot of cultures, ideas, and
excitement found within the five boroughs of New York City. Masha
D'yans's beautiful illustrations complement the vivid descriptions
of taking a taxi through Manhattan or a subway up to the
"boogie-down" Bronx, the salty seas of Staten Island, passing the
family-owned stores that form the backbone of Queens, walking
through Brooklyn's Botanical Gardens, and so much more. Lyrical,
heartfelt, and bursting with imagination, A Poem as Big as New York
City proves that a poem can be as vast and exciting as the greatest
city in the world.
