Poems to Learn by Heart
ALA Notable Children?s Book, 2014
In this diverse collection, #1 New York Times best-selling author and editor Caroline Kennedy has chosen more than a hundred poems that speak to all of us: the young and young at heart, and poetry-lovers new and old.
There's a poem to celebrate every moment in life, whether it's hitting a home run, watching a sunset, or laughing with your best friend. A poem is a gift of the heart that can inspire, reassure, or challenge us. These lovingly selected poems explore deep emotions, as well as ordinary experiences. They cover the range of human experience and imagination.
Divided into sections about nature, family, friendship, sports, school, magic, and more, the book includes thoughtful introductions from Caroline reflecting on her own family's engagement with and enjoyment of poetry.
Illustrated with striking watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Jon J. Muth, this is truly a book for all ages and interests, and one that families will want to share for years to come.
