The Rainbow Hand: Poems about Mothers and Children

26 pp. | McElderry | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82148-4 $$15.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jennifer Hewitson. Eighteen free verse poems about mothers and the experience of motherhood are told from the perspectives of both parent and child. The author's mother inspired the poems, but they transcend any particular relationship to become an honest portrayal of mother/child universalities. Stylized scratchboard and watercolor illustrations complement the poems.
