Description

I Am Part of Every Poem (Poems for Everyone Over Seven) by Jean M. Wyness. '"Through poetry," says Jean Wyness, New Zealand born poet and teacher, "children brings stars down to their earth, and adults put stars back into their sky. The parent who is too busy to read a story can never be too busy to bring a child a poem. A verse can expand into a lifetime of togetherness." The poems in this collection have all been written since the author's arrival in the United States in 1971. These verses, rife with topical references - to astronauts, for instance, in "Sky Whoopee!" - invite children to bring together their two worlds of make believe and everyday reality. There are also concrete poems - poems with special eye appeal - such as "Zippers," "Hair-Raising Stairs," and "Insect Traffic," which encourage children to explore the sounds, textures, and shapes in the world about them.' The book has an inscription signed by the Author to a previous owner.
