Newbery Award honoree Ashley Bryan has hand-selected a dozen of
National Book Award winner Nikki Giovanni's poems to illustrate with his
inimitable flourish.
There is nothing more important to a child than to feel loved, and this
gorgeous gathering of poems written by Nikki Giovanni celebrates exactly
that. Hand-selected by Newbery honoree Ashley Bryan, he has, with his
masterful flourish of color, shape, and movement, added a visual
layering that drums the most impartant message of all to young, old,
parent, child, grandparent, and friend alike: You are loved. You are
loved. You are loved. As a bonus, one page is mirrored, so children
reading the book can see exactly who is loved--themselves!
