I Am Someone Else

I Am Someone Else: Poems About Pretending
by Lee Bennett Hopkins (Editor) and Chris Hsu (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Kids can imagine pretending and dressing up in this poetry collection as fifteen poets write about who they might like to be, musing what life would be like as a wizard, a firefighter, a video-game inventor, and more.

Snippet:
Cool Creations
by Darren Sardelli

Wearing a hard hat,
boots on my feet,
I’ll smooth out each sidewalk,
pave every street!

Driving a dump truck,
bulldozer, too.
Laying down train tracks.
I’ll love what I’ll do.
