This Caldecott Honor book by Jen Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet tells the story of poet William Carlos Williams. The story is written in the same free verse style used by Williams. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, a combination of drawings and collage. The book looks like a scrapbook of Williams' life and tells of his passion for words throughout the different stages of his life. I enjoyed reading about someone I was unfamiliar with and reading some of his poetry that is interspersed through the book.
