Amazing Faces
poems selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins
illustrated by Chris Soentpiet
2011-2012 Texas Bluebonnet Book
Elementary
This collection of sixteen poems portrays the many kinds of people that make up our nation. Diversity in race, age, gender, and various emotions are present. The book is full of expressive illustrations that help bring each poem to life. Each reader will be able to relate to some of the poems on a personal level because they are about life. I especially enjoyed A Young Soldier by Prince Redcloud. This collection of poems will help readers celebrate what America is all about.
I created this Animoto book trailer to highlight the diverse nature of the poetry in Amazing Faces.
