All the World a Poem

This celebration of poetry shows readers that poetry is everywhere in the world – in nature, in feelings, in life – and invites children to read and perhaps try writing poems. The playful language, variety of poetic styles, and accompanying paper collage art brings poetry to a level of understanding for children in grades 1-5. A useful resource to introduce poetry to students, have them think and wonder about the world, and possibly write their own poems about their feelings and experiences.
