Can we read? Children’s Poetry Almanac
The Can we read? Children’s Poetry Almanac is a short guide offering poetry picks for every month of the year.
Each month includes five recommended poetry titles: one review plus four additional suggestions to help you sink into the seasons and appreciate the calendar as it comes.
You can read one book per week, read all the books together all month long, or come up with your own way of incorporating these titles into your routine – there are no rules!
Unconvinced? Hear it from subscriber Laura Sackton of Books & Bakes:
I have fallen hard for children’s poetry and it’s mostly because of Sarah’s love for it. I could not love the Can We Read? Children's Poetry Almanac more if I tried. I love that it’s organized by month, and that each month includes a featured title and a bunch more suggestions. I love how many different kinds of poetry Sarah recommends, from bilingual anthologies and nonfiction nature poems to book-length story poems and illustrated famous poems. She puts so much care into everything she does, including this almanac, and her enthusiasm for poetry is infectious.
