304 pp. | Milkweed | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-57131-685-1 $30.00 | Paper ISBN 978-1-57131-680-6 $18.00
(3) 4-6 From a nine-year-old's snippet of a poem ("You may think / I am a shadow, / But inside / I am a sun") to a Mexican teenager's bilingual verse about crossing the border into the United States, this collection of poetry is both beautiful and mature. Well-chosen and effectively varied children's art is an additional draw.
