A very enjoyable collection, combining the whimsy and joys of observation with deeper themes of war, immigration, and climate change. Nye is quite a prolific writer, and I am glad to have started here.2.5 starsIn her moments of brilliance, the poems shine. Some are short and seem to capture the meaning of life in a few lines. Some are longer and surprise you with a gem nestled among the words. She has a sly wit and a beautiful appreciation for the world around her, but sometimes this is overtaken by the message, (either about the environment or the violence in the Middle East and how the U.S. Is wrongwrongwrong), and these are beset with a smug tone, and my attention involuntarily wandered
Poems and short prose pieces, many about honeybees, but also personal memoirs, prayers, pointed commentary on the American invasion of Iraq, literature, neighbors, children, and life around San Antonio, Texas.

I had never read a book of poetry and prose before, and I absolutely loved it. I will definitely use this someday in my class to introduce poetry, prose, and figures of speech. It is not too hard of a read,
This is a collection of poems that Naomi Shihab Nye has written. I the beginning she tells a story about how when she was in college she took this class where they studied all types of animals. She picked bees, so for a whole semester she studied bees and at the end she gad to write a essay on what she had learn about them. Throughout the book she tells many stories and poems, at first you might not realize it but they all tie back to the story in the beginning. I love how creative she was, she
It is so weird to feel (almost) nostalgic reading protest poems about the Bush administration.
