Fictional characters share their experience of the famous march.
Amazing animal poetry book that is sorted into nine chapters and has around 200 poems. The poems are nicely written and includes photos for almost every poem. The range of animals is very diverse, so everyone will be able to enjoy a poem about their favorite animal. The poems are about insects, sharks, birds, quiet animals (like a panther), noisy animals (like a frog), and big animals (like a moose). Students from kindergarten and on will be impressed with this poetry book.
This is an incredibly powerful collection of poems by J. Patrick Lewis. Through driving rhythm and stinging rhyme, Lewis brings to life the voices of Civil Rights leaders from around the world. The anger, passion, and injustice beneath the meter of the poems gives them a momentum that had me turning the pages one by one. "Freedom Summer," a free verse paragraph in the center, is a heartstopping departure from the rhythm and rhyme scheme, depicting the murder of three Black boys by the Klan without music or embellishment. Five illustrators give each voice a face with muted colors. Although the formatting on the ebook version removed what I imagine are impactful page spreads, this is still a book that shouldn't be missed in a middle or high school library.… (més)
