(2) 1-3 Cheng's novel in poems reveals the special relationships that grow over the course of a year at an inner-city elementary school slated to be torn down. Each free-verse poem gently reveals the personalities, connections, and insecurities of the students and their teacher, Miss D. Cheng's remarkably emotional accompanying woodcuts, coupled with white space, give readers ample time to slow down and think.
