"An idea she cannot wait to share with ...
Ms. Alexandria,
a book-talking,
idea-loving librarian.
Together, they'll find the perfect space to put
Ruthie Rose's idea in place."
Ruthie Rose begins her day with an idea in her head she can barely wait to share. She knows the people at school she needs to see as soon as she gets there. The librarian is first, and agrees to find the perfect place for Ruthie Rose's fascinating idea. Next, she talks with the art teacher, who supplies 'paper, paints, and plenty of pizzazz' for making that space inviting and exciting for all. Her own teacher loves ideas, and she helps Ruthie Rose list all the materials needed in the new space to make sure the idea thrives. Finally, it's up to her friends who love poetry and reading as much as she does to gather students throughout the school to visit The Poetry Place. They will soon learn it is a destination for POETS, POETRY, and POSSIBILITIES! What more can one small girl ask?
Digital images burst with bold color and movement as the idea fires up great excitement. Filled with lines from poems, it follows Ruthie Rose from the onset of the project to the culmination. Wherever she goes, it sparks interest and community. A final scene from the Poetry Place shows readers and writers busy and productive, with bookshelves lining the walls, tables, chairs and comfy spots for working, and a Poetree for displaying student work. What fun!
