This week over at Kirkus, I’ve got two French picture book imports on the mind. That is here.
Last week, I wrote here about Kwame Alexander’s, Chris Colderley’s, and Marjory Wentworth’s Out of Wonder: Poems Celebrating Poets (Candlewick), illustrated by Ekua Holmes and coming to shelves in March. I’m following up today with a couple of spreads from the book (one above and one below).
Enjoy!

How lovely! I have a feeling that Kwame Alexander is going to be a great resource in introducing to me poets I’ve not heard of — now I want to know who Okot p’Bitek is, and read his or her work!
