This is a collection of poems about losing things, for all age groups. From losing pencils, keys, toys, parents, siblings, spouses, trust and freindship. A very moving book of poetry. It contains excellent black and white illustrations and I recommend it for students from the 5th grade up, as well as parents and teachers.
I have only skimmed through this book but what I have found fills my soul. sister by andy young on p122 speaks so directly to me and probably to millions of others. In a way it makes me feel comforted, knowing that what we all share is loss. We all have loss in our lives and we learn and grow from it and somehow become stronger. I thank Naomi from the bottom of my heart for putting her time and energy into this beautiful compilation.
I purchased this book on a whim for my 9 year old son. He found some of the ideas very sad. We enjoyed talking about the different types of losses. I definately got more out of it than he did. I have enjoyed sharing it with my friends. The poetry comes from many kinds of experiences and is a great all around poetry experience.
Naomi Shihab Nye has compiled an anthology not only for young adults, but for anyone who has experienced loss. Highly recommended.
I found your new ish? book tonight, after I was surfing for what would call my favoritesI'm always interested in what other people call my favoritesand I found YOU! and your new/ newest book?!I wish I could see it... but i live in china. to remedy the situation I've purchased kindles for all my studentsat Kate's Recognize academy.See how I capitalize I now and R at the front of my company...these days... hm.I wonder, ponder, asunder how many timeswe think about friends we met once or twice or three times ... even too many. And the impact of time vs. moment.Wishing I could read the new book...and hoping to meet you again soon.Kate/ chinakateShenzhen, China
The photographs are haunting and the words stay with you because they are from the heart... definately not to be lost.
Rarely does a book grab hold of me and not let go until I've read and read. The poetry is of the highest quality and the photographs are stunning.
I read this book in 9th grade and the poems resonated so deeply with me that I had certain lines in my head for years. I finally bought the book over 10 years later when I needed the comfort of words again to help me with a difficult loss. Will always be one of my favorite books.
