Reviews
"(Flicker Flash) ""A vivid fusion of ingenious concrete poetry and boldly colored graphics that celebrate the many shapes and forms of light. This one dazzles."" — School Library Journal (starred review) (Flicker Flash) ""There are so many ways to celebrate light, and Graham sings many of them in this collection of shaped, rhymed poems. This will bewitch readers with both sound and shape."" — Booklist (Splish Splash) ""A colorful collection of poems about water and the particular ways children may come in contact with it -- from ocean waves; to rain, hail, and dew; to steam and ice. . . . An enjoyable introduction to poetry that will also be a boon to teachers taking a whole-language approach to science units. A fun and useful purchase."" — School Library Journal (starred review)"

Author Information
Joan Bransfield Graham is an award-winning children’s poet whose books Splish Splash and Flicker Flash—shape poems about water and light—inspire students to write their own poetry. Both books were School Library Journal Best Books of the Year and NCTE Notable Children’s Books in the Language Arts, among many other honors. A former teacher, an avid photographer, and a world traveler, Joan lives near Los Angeles, California. Tania García is an illustrator and designer from Barcelona. After working in interior design, she realized that she was most passionate about drawing, so she became a self-taught illustrator. Color is her obsession, and she’s always experimenting with new palettes. Tania gets inspiration from nature, friends, day-to-day situations, and everything that makes her feel joyful. Awesome Earth is her sixth picture book.
