Themes Poetry; Courage; Fears Application This book is ideal for an integrated arts program in the library or classroom. Ask students to draw pictures based on a prompt such as dreams, fears, or family. Then, encourage them to think of descriptors using verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Finally, students can arrange their words and pictures into poetry/art. For more poetry based exercises, see Kenn Nesbitt’s website Poetry4Kids. Read-alikes: Grimes, Nikki. (2006). Thanks a Million.
