A young girl finds her mother's collection of old poems from when she, as a child herself, traveled the world because of her father's work as a member of the air force. The young girl decides to create her own collection of poems as a gift to her mother. She places her poems side-by-side with her mom's and presents it to her. The poems are written in the book with wonderful illustrations. This can be used to show students how poetry can present a narrative. Students can practice writing their own poem about something that happened in their life. I rate this 3.5 out of 5 stars. no reviews | add a review
