Diamond Willow - Helen Frost

Descriere Diamond Willow - Helen Frost

Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Frost tells the moving story of 12-year-old Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each poem revel feelings Willow doesn't even admit to herself. \n \nThere's \nmore to me than \nmost people \nsee. \n \nTwelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again. \n \nUsing diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself. \nDiamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.\n
