If you think poetry is not for you (or your child)—this book will change your mind.
With this new and unique approach, you won’t even realize that you are enjoying poetry!
This is my type of poetry book.
Grant Snider makes poetry easy to read and so much fun!
The illustrated graphic novel style panels are laid out in comic format bringing each poem to life. This new approach to poetry creates an engaging immersive experience that I fell in love with.
Poetry Comics is made for kids but equally inspiring to adults. Its poems are organized into the 4 seasons, and provides observations into every day happenings and the simple joys of life.
Snider’s poems encourage us to focus on the beauty of nature and what it means to be human.
The book’s first page begins with the title Spring and “I want to put down on paper the feeling of fresh possibility.”
There is so much to explore with titles like: If I were a tree, to a snail, late bus, comfort zone, new shoes, and skywriting. Through each season there is also guidance on how to write a poem.
I love the sense of time that is captured by moving through the seasons and how Snider encourages us to stretch our imagination with this beautiful collection of poetry.
If you are looking for a contemporary addition to Shel Silverstein’s poetry books, this is it!
Perfect for visually oriented readers, aspiring poets, for classroom drawing or writing projects, a reluctant reader, writers, cartoonists, and parents or educators who want to engage their children’s creativity.
I can’t wait to gift this book to the children and adults in my life who are looking to create.
Helps with: writing, drawing, and appreciating poetry, growth, self-reflection, mindfulness, the wonders of the natural world, exploration, creativity, imagination, appreciating the 4 seasons, and creative meditations for creative activity.
