lattelibrarian's review against another edition
5.0
Nye is a master at her art--her poetry is so beautiful and subtle and so riveting that I can't do anything but to applaud it. Paired with Yaccarino's collages, the poetry takes on a new life: everyday objects become faces, hands, emotions. And emotions are what get me--especially in my favorite poem "Torn Map". There's many people you can meet on a journey, there's many speeds a journey can have, and many destinations. But so much of what a journey consists on depends on the perspective, and that's exactly what this book gives you: perspective.

One of my favorite poets whose work I usually savor however the format of this book (large as a child's picture book) and the style of illustration (fitting for a children's book) disrupted the experience

A beautiful pairing of poems and illustrations. I enjoyed the book as a whole, but will pull a few stand out poems to bring to class discussion and future reading like: Come with me, Somebody’s story, Courage, and Torn map.
