An Amazing Work of Words
Makenzie S. - 6 years 3 months agoI am about to be a senior in college who is studying Elementary Education and Creative Writing. Although her poetry is not appropriate for young children, I find it a good resource to draw from for poetry activities in the classroom. It is motivational and inspirational for young adults, and certain parts can be empowering for females. I would recommend reading this book in small parts because all at once can be overwhelming, or even flipping to a random page to read for that day. Overall, I would 10/10 recommend this book!! #summerreading #summerreadingchallenge #buyingbooksformyfutureclassroom
