I first learned about this book from Isabella. She is my student and just nonchalantly mentioned that she had a book published. It seems her parents published her book of poetry when she was in first grade. She is in sixth grade now. When I first heard that I knew I had to buy a copy. I wanted to support her and encourage her in her writing. I am pleased to say that a lot of her poems are great examples of metaphors. What a great resource/example to use for teaching the use of figurative language, especially in poetry. Her topics range from bugs, to cats and everything between. I have to say that I absolutely can not wait to see her writing this year, and to see how she has grown as a writer since first grade . I truly see great things coming from this young lady who is so passionate about writing. ( )
