With poems from more than 50 different countries and exquisite illustrations, Around the World in Eighty Poems invites children to share in the richness of cultures around the globe.

Nobody can see my name on me.
My name is inside
and all over me, unseen
like other people also keep it.
Isn't my name magic?Dreena is a dreamer. She wonders about the magic of names and marvels at the differences between people -- like how her sister Ziza plays guitar while her brother, Delroy, "plays crazy faces."
Delroy is full of energy. He's a breakdancer, a skateboarder, an athlete -- and every bit as much a poet as his sister:
Sittn down is all immobility;
On my skateboard I show agility.
Out in the open a boy's ahright;
there's notn to him like takin flight.In Isn't My Name Magical? this irresistible sister and brother team write poems about their family, friends, and favorite activities. Their poems sparkle with energy, and Dreena, the dreamer, and Delroy, the skateboard flyer, are as vibrant in Shelly Hehenberger's richly colored art as they are in acclaimed poet James Berry's rolling words.

"Take me somewhere -- to wide-open countryside.
Let me redden and blacken my tongue with berries and cherries.
Let me skip with a flip in a trip. Take me somewhere."In A Nest Full of Stars, James Berry will take you on a memorable trip through all the startling, humorous, sad, happy, painful, and joyful experiences of growing up. Here are birthdays and fireworks, quarrels and making up, and every sort of mood you can imagine. Here are the hills and valleys of friendships and family life. Here is a boy on a train, trying to make all the adults look at their watches. Here is a girl discovering the miracle of her hen's hidden nest of eggs and seeing it change into "a mighty nest full of stars." Most of all, here are poems that shake our senses and awaken us to the magic and mysteries all around.
