Eloise Greenfield is an amazing poet and writer whose work never fails to engage children and adults. Two of my favorites are from Honey, I Love. They are
"Harriet Tubman" and "Things" The first stanza of "Harriet Tubman" is so simple and yet powerful.
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And wasn't going to stay one either
I also like to use Nathaniel Talking, a book that received a Coretta Scott King Honor award and is enhanced by the elegant and loving illustrations of Jan Spivey Gilchrist.
