The pictures allude to Halloween, but it's not actually mentioned or referenced, so the book works for other times of year, too. ( ) This short, picture book is a wonderful read. Although it strays far away from traditional forms of poetry that rhyme fluidly, this story of a young girl who dreams of flying and her determination to achieve that goal is beautifully executed by the author. The illustrations bring the story to life and has a relatable protagonist that readers will love. As mentioned before, the story is written in the form of a sestina, which is not a style of poetry most are accustomed to seeing. It could be a wonderful activity for a creative writing class for more higher grade students to explore sestinas and even write some of their own. This unique picture book is written as a sestina, giving it a rhythmic feel. The illustrations have an old-school feel with bold contrasts of dark colors. I could see the simple, yet compelling story being a terrific way to introduce poetry concepts to kids, and perhaps as a springboard for older kids creating their own sestinas.
The effortless quiet of McGhee’s words is beautifully matched by Yoo’s pictures — linoleum block prints done in rapturously moody greens and browns.
A young girl wants to fly like a witch on a broom, and one special night, through enormous effort and with the help of her brother, her black cat, and an owl, she fulfills her dream. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
