Enormous Smallness

The poetry of e. e. cummings doubtlessly bends the rules of our language playfully, surprisingly, disarmingly.  But children, too, are nothing if not inventive in their early forays into using language, which makes a picture book about e. e. cummings such a pleasure.  A wonderful introduction not only to one of our great American poets but to poetry that pushes beyond the world of nursery rhymes even as it feels at home with them.  You'll see budding imaginations inside of starry eyes when you share this book with a child.
