Featuring eighteen poems that guide the reader on an international tour--from New York to San Francisco, London to Tokyo, and beyond, this extraordinary urban-themed collection celebrates the beauty, diversity, energy, architecture, and excitement of city life.

Welcome to school, a building of brick full of soul and heart, eager for students and staff to fill its halls with sounds. This anthology of fifteen poems celebrates the grown-up people that children encounter throughout the course of their school day: the school bus driver with her morning smile, the teacher who inspires imagination, the rarely seen, yet caring custodian, and the nurse who heals hurts, big and small.
