"A collection of illustrated poems about everything from new shoes and falling leaves to friendship and growing up"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
Combining poetry and comics in a whole new way, this fun and imaginative book is perfect for poetry lovers and reluctant readers alike. "Poetry Comics is a sprint through a sprinkler, a cool evening breeze, and the discovery of static electricity all at once. It's a sensorial experience that taps into what it means to be human and leaves you inspired to explore, discover, create, and connect."--Aron Nels Steinke, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist From the cloud-gazing hours of early spring to the lost bicycles of late autumn, Grant Snider's brilliantly illustrated Poetry Comics will take you climbing, floating, swimming, and tumbling through all the year's ups, downs, and in-betweens. He proves that absolutely everything, momentous or minuscule, is worthy of attention, whether snail shells, building blocks, the lamented late bus, or the rare joy of unscuffed shoes. These poems explore everything you never thought to write a poem about, and they're so fun to read you'll want to write one yourself. Not to worry, there's a poem for that, too! FOR COMIC BOOK FANS: These poems for kids are brightly illustrated in graphic novel-style panels, adding a delightful new element to approaching poetry. Perfect for visually oriented readers and young people who already love comics, cartoons, and graphic novels.
