COMELIBRITOS CORNER: Picture Books for Little Poets
By Li Yun Alvarado
By Li Yun Alvarado
Happy National Poetry Month! (April)
It's never too early introduce your littles to poetry, and I've compiled a list of picture books that can help you do just that.
Below I've included books that feature poetry as well as books that share the biographies of great poets.
As a bonus, I've also included a link to my poetry collection Words or Water, but that one is just for the adults ;)
