Hey You! C'Mere A Poetry Slam

One summer morning in the sizzling city, seven kids gather on a street corner to share the power of poetry. As they move through the neighborhood, the kids transform their experiences -- standing up to a tough kid, slurping spaghetti and ice cream, a good "hiccup cough sniff" cry -- into a poetry slam celebrating the strength and energy of their own unique voices. Elizabeth Swado's wonderfully aural work is given visual dimension by Joe Cepeda's colorful, character-ful paintings. So come along and heed the call: Hey you! C'MERE!Swados, Elizabeth is the author of 'Hey You! C'Mere A Poetry Slam', published 2002 under ISBN 9780439092579 and ISBN 0439092574.
