专业书评 From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–There is a fine line between cliché and empowerment when it comes to anything that shouts girl power. This anthology walks that line somewhat awkwardly at times, but ultimately with grace. The poems, penned by famous poets and children's book authors, move from topics of racial identity and body image to love and sports. Lee Bennett Hopkins, Gertrude Stein, Roald Dahl, Russell Hoban, Douglas Florian, and Judith Viorst are among those included. The full-page and spot-art line drawings adorn the pages as doodles might decorate a journal. While they are likely to appeal to the intended audience, they occasionally detract from the seriousness and fine craftsmanship of a particular poem. This title delivers timely and accessible poems that will speak to modern readers.–Jill Heritage Maza, Conn Elementary, Raleigh, NC
