pickI love these books because of their illustrations. As well as the silly yet relatable themes.

pickThis poetry book is for older readers around 4th grade. I love the representation in this book. Very heartfelt poems to get students thinking a bit deeper. I would definitely have this in my classroom.
“...For what is happiness but growth in peace,
The timeless sense of time when furniture
Has stood a life's span in a single place,
And as the air moves, so the old dreams stir
The shining leaves of present happiness?
No one has heard thought or listened to a mind,
But where people have lived in inwardness
The air is charged with blessing and does bless;
Windows look out on mountains and the walls are kind.“
—from “The Work of Happiness“
pickJust wow! Emily Dickinson was such a poetic genius! The fact that she wrote most of her poetry for herself and for her friends, and not for publication is incredible.
Prior to reading this book, I had only read a small handful of Dickinson‘s poems and enjoyed them, so I was eager to delve more into her poetry.
