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!
