I am loved

poems by Nikki Giovanni ; illustrations by Ashley Bryan

Hand-selected by Newbery honoree Ashley Bryan, he has, with his masterful flourish of color, shape, and movement, added a visual layering that drums the most important message of all to young, old, parent, child, grandparent, and friend alike: You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. As a bonus, one page is mirrored, so children reading the book can see exactly who is loved--themselves!

Because -- Leaves -- Wild flowers -- Quilts (for Sally Sellers) -- A song of a blackbird (for Carolyn Rodgers, October 4, 2010) -- Three/quarters time -- Kidnap poem -- Paula the cat -- No heaven -- I am a mirror -- Do the Rosa Parks (a song in rhythm)
