This poetry book isn't just one story made up of poems. It is a huge collection of poems from different poets from around the world. The themes to the poems are Words and Silences, Dreams and Dreamers, Families, This Earth and Sky in Which We Live, Losses, and Human Mysteries. I would use this book in a 4th or 5th grade classroom because of the complexity of some of the poems. It would be good to use for a more advanced lesson in poetry for older students but wouldn't be a good introduction lesson to poetry for younger students.… (mais)

This seems like a pretty interesting book, I got about halfway through it and the poems that I did read were very well-written and made me think a lot. One of my favorite poems was definitely about a mother’s job. Overall very interesting read.

Nye's poetry dances through the lives of these individuals, offering glimpses of their dreams, resilience, and the enduring peace within. Whether it's a girl in a red sweater, Uncle Mohammed on the mountain, or the enigmatic Sitti Khadra, each poem weaves a tale that echoes with universal truths.

Pros:

This is a very, very slow moving book about a little boy who does not want to move away from his beloved home in Oman to his new home in Michigan. I liked the writing, but my children and i all could not finish it as a bedtime book, because nothing was going to happen.
