Praise for A Meal of the Stars: Poems Up and Down

"Imaginative and accessible, these verses show how the most ordinary of pleasures can pique a child's or a pair of friends' curiosity to explore the natural and urban worlds."--Booklist "This quiet, thoughtful collection shows that not all poetry is meant to be read in a straightforward manner."--School Library Journal "Words and pictures pull readers along in a visceral reading experience."--Publishers Weekly "The imagery is precise and accessible, with touches of both whimsy and realism."--Bulletin —
