<p><strong>A splendidly illustrated collection of poems inspired by young children that address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer. </strong></p><p>The poems in <em>Climbing Shadows</em> were inspired by a class of kindergarten children whom poet and playwright Shannon Bramer came to know over the course of a school year. She set out to write a poem for each child, sharing her love of poetry with them, and made an anthology of the poems for Valentine’s Day.</p><p>This original collection reflects the children’s joys and sorrows, worries and fears, moods and sense of humor. Some poems address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer, while others explore subjects of fascination — bats, spiders, skeletons, octopuses, polka dots, racing cars and birthday parties. Evident throughout the book is a love of words and language and the idea that there are all kinds of poems and that they are for everyone — to read or write.</p><p>Cindy Derby’s dreamy watercolor illustrations gently complement each poem. Beautiful, thoughtful, sensitive and funny, this is an exceptional collection.</p><p><strong>Key Text Features</strong><br />illustrations<br />table of contents<br />author’s note</p><p><strong>Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:</strong></p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.1<br />With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.4<br />Ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7<br />With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4<br />Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.</p><p>CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.4<br />Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.</p>
