When at the end you learn that you were being told this boys story as a spur to your own potentially amazing one, the surprise and the gratification outweigh any sense of a lesson being taught.” — The New York Times Book Review "Written by the master wordsmith himself, this work details Herrera’ life as a young boy spending time outside and then as an adolescent learning to craft poetry, before ultimately receiving the honor of U.S, Poet Laureate as an adult. His words are accompanied by pen-and-foam monoprint illustrations that sweep across the page to create a soit, dreamy feeling, further encouraging readers to heed the author’ recurring refrain: imagine. Readers will finish the story envisioning all the possibilities that may await them. A beautifull illustrated poem that will be cherished by children.” = Schoo! Library Journal (starred review)
