Love this and the surplus of poetry in kids books! Every time I struggle with poetry, I start to read it out loud and it has an entirely different meaning.

We love Little Poems for Tiny Ears- to this day every time I sneeze I think “a sneeze/is a breeze/in your nose” 😂

Hope you are feeling less sad by now. Thank you for this “We need silence and rhythm in equal measure — in books and in life — and that’s poetry.” ❤️

Thank you for these recommendations! We are loving Scranimals and even have been drawing our own. The vocabulary in the poems is wonderful.

What a wonderful list! We have our own recommendations for the winter (mostly prose), and we'll be adding more poetry books in the spring.
