Note to self: buy a copy of this book to keep for classroom use!

I will admit that I wasn't fond over every poem in this book. That is not at all why it has five stars and a spot on my 'all time favourites' folder.
But this is the kind of book I think every trainer teacher should explore.

A collection of poems by both author and children, aside a selection of art and sculptures that the poems are inspired by.
Nichols does an amazing job at inspiring anyone to look creatively, and get their imagination working, with poems that really push the idea that all poetry is worthy and respected, and that children are just as able to create art as any author.

I am especially fond of the small section at the back of the book that helps give plenty of ideas and lots of encouragement for using poetry and art in classrooms!
