I reflect the strengths

Of my people

And for that alone

I am loved."

There is nothing more important to a child than to feel loved, and this gorgeous gathering of peoms, written by Nikki Giovanni, celebrates exactly that. These verses have been hand selected by Newbery honoree Ashley Bryan, who—with his masterful flourish of color, shape, and movement—has added a visual song to the one these poems sing to young and old, parent and child, grandparent and friend alike: you are loved. You are loved. You are loved.
