In this playful bilingual picture book for children, the author describes all the things a poem can do, like: "Puppies can be / planets / and flowers / can be kittens" and "the moon can be / square / and rain can be / laughter."
Simple text describes the endless possibilities available in writing poetry; words can rhyme, run off the page or even be invented! Poems can be very long or super short. Jovi de la Jara's fun black-and-white illustrations cleverly depict the humorous ideas: a dog's face looks like a planet with a ring around it, flowers sprout cat faces and a cloud cries laughter. These original and sometimes abstract images will surely ignite kids' imaginations!
This entertaining book is perfect for sharing the joy of writing poetry with young readers. Kids will be encouraged to explore the world around them and come up with their own inventive creations as they realize, "The poem is a mirror inside your head."
