In this diverse collection, a companion to her New York Times #1
best-seller A Family of Poems, Caroline Kennedy has chosen more than a
hundred poems that speak to all of us the young and young at heart,
readers new to poetry, and devoted fans
There's a poem to celebrate every moment in life, whether it's hitting a
home run, watching a sunset, or laughing with your best friend. A poem
is a gift of the heart that can inspire, reassure, or challenge us.
Memorize it. Share it. It's yours forever. These lovingly selected poems
explore deep emotions, as well as ordinary experiences. They cover the
range of human experience and imagination. Divided into sections about
nature, sports, monsters and fairies, friendship and family, this book
is full of surprises. Each section is preceded by Caroline's thoughtful
introduction reflecting her own family's engagement with and enjoyment
of poetry.
Illustrated with striking watercolor paintings by award-winning artist
Jon J Muth, this is truly a book for all ages and interests, and one
that families will want to share for years to come.
