Synopsis
Over half a million copies sold! This rich collection of family poems, curated by bestselling editor and author Caroline Kennedy, is the perfect introduction to poetry for young readers. Inspired to create a poetry anthology for families after her national bestseller The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , Caroline Kennedy set out to create a collection of her family's favorite poems. With more than one hundred poems, from five continents, illuminated with sumptuous watercolors by Jon J Muth, Ms. Kennedy organizes her selections into sections that reflect a child's world and frames each section with an introduction in her own words. Her work in the New York City public schools has made Caroline Kennedy keenly aware of how great a role poetry can play in the minds and hearts of young readers. A Family of Poems offers children and families a single beautiful volume that will spark a love of language and verse that will last a lifetime., Bestselling editor and author Caroline Kennedy's rich collection of family poems. Over 300,000 Copies Sold Caroline Kennedy has curated a rich variety of Kennedy family favorite poems to include in this priceless selection. With thoughtful personal introductions written by Caroline herself, and beautiful new original artwork by award-winning artist, Jon J Muth, this collection has become a family favorite. Caroline has edited several other bestselling titles, including Profiles in Courage for Our Time and A Patriot's Handbook., When Caroline Kennedy published The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 2001, the book became a national best seller. "The most unexpected part of publishing that book," she says, "was how many people spoke and wrote to me about sharing the same poems in their own families." That grassroots response inspired Caroline Kennedy to create an anthology for families, drawing from the poems her own family cherished. A Family of Poems is the spectacular result: more than one hundred poems, from five continents, illuminated with sumptuous water-colors by Jon J Muth. Ms. Kennedy organizes her selections into sections that reflect a child's world-About Me; That's So Silly!; Animals; The Seasons; The Seashore; Adventure; Bedtime-and frames each section with an introduction in her own words. Her work in the New York City public schools has made Caroline Kennedy keenly aware of how great a role poetry can play in the minds and hearts of young people. A Family of Poems offers children and families a single beautiful volume that will spark a love of language and verse that will last a lifetime. Book jacket.

  • Good works

    The Family of Poems is really a good poetry anthology. The articles she discusses about growing up in the White House are insightful and interesting to all ages. I would recommend this book to poets and people that enjoy poetry. I write poetry and have been published and I found this book really enjoyable. I teach and have been sharing this with my class.
