Fresh Delicious: Poems from the Farmers' Market

32 pp. | Boyds/Wordsong | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62979-103-6 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mique Moriuch. Twenty-one poems about various fruits, vegetables, and other farmers' market items offer unconventional literary images, such as how potatoes are "crooked as a 'come here' finger," and how okra are "mouse-sized swords." The childlike perspectives of the poems are further upheld by simple, playful images rendered in acrylic and collage. Educators with school gardens may appreciate the book's cross-curriculum opportunities. Recipes are appended.
