Fifteen poems selected by acclaimed poet and anthologist Lee Bennett
Hopkins celebrate all of the grown-ups that children encounter during
the course of a school day.
Welcome to school, a building of brick full of soul and heart, eager for
students and staff to fill its halls with sounds. This anthology of
fifteen poems celebrates the grown-up people that children encounter
throughout the course of their school day: the school bus driver with
her morning smile, the teacher who inspires imagination, the rarely
seen, yet caring custodian, and the nurse who heals hurts, big and
small. There's even a poem about the school building. Award-winning poet
and anthologist Lee Bennett Hopkins has compiled this marvelous
collection featuring a variety of brand-new works by well-known poets
and beautifully imaginative artwork by illustrator Ellen Shi.
