I mean, did we expect anything but perfection in an Elizabeth Acevdeo poem? Also, I highly recommend listening to Acevedo recite this poem while reading the book because it is a totally different experience. The way the illustrations, the size of the text, the formatting all fit her performance of it? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I'm okay with this trend of illustrating popular YA poets (see Jason Reynolds' Ain't Burned All the Bright from earlier this year). Especially if you take the time to listen and read at the same time!

I loved this poem the first time I heard it. The way that Acevedo plays with simple words and overarching metaphors is truly art. The illustrations captured that perfectly as Pippins used the words themselves in the art. Highly recommend.
