Written by: Kwame Alexander.

Illustrated by: Melissa Sweet.

Find a tree — a

black tupelo or

dawn redwood will do — and

plant yourself.

(It’s okay if you prefer a stoop, like Langston Hughes.)

With these words, an adventure begins. Kwame Alexander’s poetry and Melissa Sweet’s artwork come together to take readers on a journey between the pages of a book.  (From GoodReads.)
