Today’s review is actually an interview with the author of Poetry nomination Finding Treasure: A Collection of Collections (Amazon, IndieBound). Poetry panelist Matt Esenwine, who blogs at Radio, Rhythm, & Rhyme, recently interviewed Michelle Schwab about her book. She said this about the collection:
Carmen Saldaña did such an amazing job with the illustrations in Finding Treasure that I’m in love with each spread. However, I think my favorite might be the one for the poem, “Collecting Stars.” In this poem, after searching for a collection all day, the child heads outside to try and collect fireflies. I love how Carmen captured the cozy glow of the fireflies against the starry sky.
