Strange. My experience with both poetry and picture books is usually that the way I start out is the way I'll finish, but a third of the way in, the words and the art started to speak to me.
I love that poetry adorns a spacecraft sent out in the name of science, to discover more about Europa.
The author's note illuminates the significance of the water themes in the verse and the illustrations.

Week 2 - I read the Ozzy Osbourne book for the #princeofdarkness readalong.

Week 3 - I read Agatha Christie for the #christiescapers buddy read.

This novel could be introduced in literary units about poetry or also in discussions about the impact of war on a country. Additionally, students could make their own writings in verse talking about a time that was scary or where they had to learn or try something new. This novel can be used to evoke empathy and develop a supportive and warm attitude to all people, including those from diverse language, cultural, or racial backgrounds.

“I'm practicing to be seen“

This book, written in verse follows a young girl's experience feeling Vietnam as a result of the Vietnam War. Alongside her mother and older brothers, Hà travels to rural Alabama where she faces discrimination and struggles to adapt to a vastly different culture and society. This historical fiction novel helps readers see the impacts of the Vietnam War on the people of Vietnam and explores what being a refugee is like from a child's eyes.

Yes, I devoured the new Ian McEwan novel. You will, too.
