The Sun in Me: Poems about the Planet

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beth Krommes. This collection features twenty-nine poems from diverse cultures that celebrate the beauty and fragility of the Earth, and includes poems by John Updike, Mary Kawena Pukui, Issa, and Sappho. Although the topic is rather broad, on balance the poems are those that will appeal to a wide audience. Krommes's colorful scratchboard and watercolor illustrations bring the poems to life.
