Lee Bennett Hopkins : Amazing Faces before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Amazing Faces:

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. SImply Amazing!By BonI originally bought this book for a teacher as an end of the year gift. She LOVED it!!! I just bought a copy for my family. The book is stunningly illustrated and each poem somehow stands out and flows seamlessly together. There are selections from the famous and the not-yet- famous. I was especially struck by the poem by Mary E. Cronin: Firefighter's Face...I felt the the heat and exhaustion of that firefighter. Great book! Great Gift! It is a keeper. I give it 5 stars.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy fuhping chenI am very like this book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Review from Books That Heal KidsBy Books That Heal KidsThis is a really powerful collection of poems with matching illustrations. There were two poems called Miss Stone and I'm The One that drew me to this book. Each is about two different children experiencing exclusion and loneliness. They are TERRIFIC and will allow children to really relate to the feelings expressed in each poem. I am an elementary school counselor and am really excited to have discovered this resource. Made me question why I'm not using more poetry in bullying or friendship lessons. I'm really looking forward to using this poem in a lesson with my students. Really feel like I will be able to get to those deep layers with kids thanks to this new book of poetry on my shelf with such wonderful illustrations. Even my 20 month old daughter could not stop looking at the pictures. My goal is to always use resources that are impactful with children - this is definitely one of those.

In this contemporary yet timeless collection, acclaimed anthologist Lee Bennett Hopkins brings together sixteen selections that reveal through poetic word imagery the common universal emotions and feelings we all have, whether they be happy, excited, wishful, proud, sad, or lonely. The poems taken as a whole reflect the great variety of people in our society, bringing children of today into focus as they meet with childhood experiences and also interact with adults in their world. The moving and insightful verses more than half of which were commissioned specifically for this collection were created by many well-known writers, including Joseph Bruchac, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Nikki Grimes, Lee Bennett Hopkins, Carole Weatherford, Jane Yolen, Pat Mora, and Janet S. Wong. Glowing illustrations by Chris Soentpiet infuse the poems with life, exquisite settings, and atmosphere. Readers of all ages will want to feast their eyes on these captivating poems and images again and again.

From School Library JournalGrade 4–6—"You can read many things in her face," says Joseph Bruchac in describing Aunt Molly Sky, a venerable Native American storyteller. Aunt Molly is one of 16 people, varied in age and ethnicity, whose everyday lives are reflected in this picture-book anthology. Faces figure prominently in some poems as Hopkins and Soentpiet celebrate America's diversity. "Amazing Face" belongs to a chortling Asian baby who is addressed by a blond mother, and the concluding poem, Langston Hughes's "My People," is paired with a multiracial crowd waving flags in a city fireworks scene. Some of the voices and warm watercolor portraits are necessarily specific—Chinatown's child who lives "above Good Fortune/where they catch crabs fresh" or "Latina, abuela, she is everyone/of us come from otherwhere." Some experiences—dreams, loneliness, the heroism of a returning soldier or a smoke-smudged firefighter—are universal. Varied in shape, each poem is set on an ivory half-page next to a broad scene—sometimes a single child, other times a small group or an energetic crowd. This appealing package of poetry and ideas will be enjoyed by children, parents, and teachers. There are many bits to savor, and the underlying theme is so well executed that it could easily stimulate interest in finding more people in poems.—Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston (c) Copyright 2010.

No redistribution permitted.From BooklistIllustrated with large, handsome watercolor portraits, the 16 poems in this anthology celebrate the rich diversity of American kids—what makes each one special and the connections between them. Most poems are original to this collection, except for the final, “My People,” by Langston Hughes, which is paired with a close-up view of a huge crowd of parents and kids of many backgrounds that also appears on the cover. A sad kid is not accepted by the in-crowd in Jude Mandell's “I'm the One.” In contrast, Pat Mora's poem features a Latino boy who finds bliss in solitude (“I like to count the stars”). Jane Medina's “Me x 2” includes Spanish translation of the lines and shows the riches of bilingualism: “I do twice as much.” And Jane Yolen's “Karate Kid” is a fun read- aloud (“Chop / Kick / Peace / Power”) and features a dynamic portrait of a girl in action. A great collection for sharing at home and in the classroom.
