A book.of poems about being thankful, thanku is a book for kids (and adults!) who want to read poetry. A plus for this book is that the illustrations are unique and colorful, so even reluctant readers may enjoy this one.
In the back, there is a list explaining the different types of poetry used in the book, so a good project to do after reading might be a write poetry project. Overall, this book will appeal to several different audiences, and you might learn something new, too.
I received this arc from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the focus on gratitude of all kinds, for all things but was especially fascinated by the variety of poetic styles and structures. Words - and writers - are amazing.

Wonderful poems, great for home and classrooms, with brief explanations of the poem types at the end. Some very charming illustrations as well, though some more so than others for me. Suggested for all ages.

What a great book of poetry for kids or adults. Different poems of gratitude written by a diverse group of poets. Be grateful for anything! Also, it tells you what type of poem it is on the bottom. Great book.

This is one of the best collections of poetry I have seen for upper elementary students. I think this could be used in any classroom that is studying different types of poetry as each poem has an annotation of the type of poetry with a definition in the back of the book about it.
