Come with Me: Poems for a Journey by Naomi Shihab Nye

5.0

Nye is a master at her art--her poetry is so beautiful and subtle and so riveting that I can't do anything but to applaud it.  Paired with Yaccarino's collages, the poetry takes on a new life: everyday objects become faces, hands, emotions.  And emotions are what get me--especially in my favorite poem "Torn Map".  There's many people you can meet on a journey, there's many speeds a journey can have, and many destinations.  But so much of what a journey consists on depends on the perspective, and that's exactly what this book gives you: perspective.
