About This Book
One summer morning in the sizzling city, seven kids gather on a street corner to share the power of poetry. As they move through the neighborhood, the kids transform their experiences — standing up to tough kids or slurping spaghetti and ice cream or suffering through a too-tight hug — into a "poetry slam."
A prize-winning playwright presents this book featuring an ensemble cast of kids who get together to laugh, sob, and whisper poems to one another that touch on things that hurt, things that are annoying, what is great, and what's funny. Full-color illustrations.
