This is an inspirational collection of what my students and I call "people poems." Everyday unsung heroes are recognized, and our often invisible neighbors are vividly portrayed in the beautifully artistic illustrations that accompany each of the 16 poems from such poets as Langston Hughes and Nikki Grimes. Each poem and illustration adds to the theme of the interconnectedness that underlies our differences. And while this is a book for grades 4-6, it is one that even high school students and adults will enjoy.
