Martin Rising

Martin Rising: Requiem For a King
by Andrea Davis Pinkney (Author) and Brian Pinkney (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A poetic requiem conveys the final months of Martin Luther King’s life.

Snippet:
These strong, quiet
strikers,
and all who stand by them,
refuse to Roar.

Going out like lambs,
they are ignored.

No better pay.
No benefits.
No fair working conditions.

No progress.

A 2018 Cybils Poetry nominee

Fly With Me

Fly With Me: A Celebration of Birds through Pictures, Poems, and Stories
by Jane Yolen (Author), Heidi Stemple (Author), Adam Stemple (Author) and Jason Stemple (Author/ Photographer)

Booktalk: Stories, poems, songs, facts, and photos fill the pages of this 192 page treasury celebrating the amazing world of birds in this Year of the Bird. Even the back cover has a poem on it! (See below.) Keep this book by your window with a cell phone and binoculars . . .

Snippet:
Digiscoping
Although photographing birds professionally takes expensive camera equipment and an expert eye, you can get started without either of those. Digiscoping is a way to capture close-up pictures of birds with a digital camera, even a cell phone camera, and a telescope or a pair of binoculars.
