This Book Touches a Very Deep Place.

I was blown away by this book. I found it so moving. There was such a breath of sweetness, longing and nostalgia about the poems. Coupled with the incredible humanity and realness (for lack of a better word) of the fascinating family photos, the first rate book design, and the elegant, silky feel of the cover and pages, it is a book to be savored, pondered and read and re-read to children at bedtime. The mother-child bond is celebrated so beautifully, so authentically. I really think this book deserves a major book award. Caldecott. Whatever. It's very unusual and a real jewel. Kudo's to Walter Dean Myers and to the book designer.
