Poems in the Attic

Review
By The Horn Book Guide

A little girl finds her mother’s stash of childhood poems reflecting the mother’s travels as an Air Force brat. The daughter’s free verse poems about finding and reading her mother’s work appear on left-hand pages, facing her mother’s tanka poems ( a Japanese poetic form) on the right. Pink-toned acrylic and oil illustrations are enhanced by cut-paper and fabric collage.
