White Wild Indigo: An Illustrated Collection of Poems for Children by Jet WidickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
White Wild Indigo is an adorable collection of poetry geared to show children all the beauty and fun that surround them. The poetry covers everything from self-esteem to nature. The illustrations are colorful and cute--the kind of book you could look through, even without reading the words.
I like that many of the poems use big words and don't assume that kids need to be talked down to (which is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to kid's titles). Although not every kid will understand specific words or phrases, it's the cadence in which its read that makes the most difference, and helps readers connect to each piece. A lovely book for anyone who enjoys rhyming poetry.
