CBC Showcase: Women's History Month and National Poetry Month
Ten-year-old Jodie tells the story of her extended family's weeklong reunion in the fifteen poems that make up this delightful picture book.
by Mary Quattlebaum, illustrated by Andrea Shine
Thoughtful and fun, the glimpses of family togetherness and traditions are shown through a variety of poetic forms, including free verse, a sonnet, haiku, a ballad, and more. Beautifully illustrated in watercolor and paper collage, Family Reunion is a Texas Institute of Letters finalist for Best Children's Book.
"The watercolor illustrations are as soft and comforting as an old quilt, spare and yet full of feeling. A perfect book for class or family reading, especially to inspire poetry as a form of journal writing." —Children's Literature
