(3) K-3 Illustrated by Xia Gordon. Encouraged to write from a young age, Gwendolyn Brooks (1917–2000) became one of America's most prolific and beloved poets. Part biography, part poetic ode to a literary legend, Duncan's "song" helps introduce Brooks's work to new generations by incorporating several of her poems throughout. Gordon's expressive illustrations, in a warm color palette, are full of movement and emotion. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
