[Heidi-Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I skimmed through this book. Some great poems. Others didn't quite click with me. A nice celebration of time and life. But I couldn't find one that would work to read aloud in storytime. I would recommend this to those over 10, for some of these poems are much more symbolic or deeper than a younger child might grasp. I think many teens and adults would enjoy it--if they have a bend toward poetry.
