Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

On the Notable Poetry Book List from the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)

This empathetic collection by renowned Kalli Dakos is a unique reflection of what makes up some of the collective experiences of life.

This collection of insightful and endearing poems explores what kids experience on the inside that cannot be seen from the outside. From topics that readers experience every day, like the agony of waiting for recess, to the monotony of homework, to things that aren't easy to talk about, like death and bullying, the poems are incredibly relatable.
