Críticas
Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review) "Wilder Award-winning author Grimes delivers a compact yet powerful message of hope and encouragement based on Psalm 121. . . . A sumptuous work filled with a deliciously wrapped center--perfect for classrooms, school, public, or church libraries, or home: wherever hearts go for mending." Publishers Weekly (STARRED review) "Drawing on Psalm 121 and a poetic technique called the Golden Shovel, Grimes creates a cycle of poems about two children, Jordan and Tanya, who become friends through their intense faith and the arrival of a new classmate. . . . The language, by turns soaring and searing, requires close attention, but its beauty is brought to earth in the best way by Collier's resonant photo-collages." Booklist (STARRED review) "In short bursts of poetry, readers meet Jordan, who fears his tormentor, and Tanya, the bully, whose stuttering isolates her. . . . Readers will be moved by Tanya's fears and Jordan's ability to reach out. Collier uses his look-and-look-again collage work, here in earth tones, to capture and extend the emotions bubbling near the surface. Childhood concerns, some common, some not, are elevated by the infusion of God into this wholly (and holy) original mix." Shelf Awareness (STARRED review) "Hopeful and affecting, Grimes and Collier's third collaboration provides exquisite affirmation of the healing power of forgiveness and compassion."
Reseña del editor
Jordan lives in fear of Tanya, the class bully. But Tanya has worries of her own, no matter how much she tries to ignore them. It seems impossible that Jordan and Tanya could be anything other than enemies, but the Lord is watching over them, guiding each of them along a path that might just help help them to understand one another. Nikki Grimes takes the words of a comforting psalm and masterfully transforms them into a tale of compassion, friendship and faith. Coupled with artwork from Bryan Collier, this heartfelt story is one that readers will treasure.
