​
​TITLE:           A POEM GROWS INSIDE YOU
AUTHOR:     Katey Howes
ILLUSTRATOR: Heather Brockman Lee
PUBLISHER: The Innovation Press/2022
OPENING LINES:
It starts when a rhythm
drips onto your skin,
a drizzle or downpour
that seeps its way in.
 
Oh, DUM da da, DUM da da,
drenched in the beat
you splash in the rhythm 
from forehead to feet. 

Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is an ode to a poem inside you. Katey Howes uses the metaphor of a seed as the dormant poem waiting to be watered, grow roots, sprout, blossom, and be shared—if you dare. Heather Brockman Lee’s bright, expressive illustrations depict a diverse group of children surrounded by nature and are the perfect complement to Howes’ lyrical, rhyming text. This emotional, meaningful, and masterfully told and illustrated book is a must have for your bookshelf!
