Title: Poems for Coping Kids
Product review: I am a teacher and run a support group for children whose parents are divorced or divorcing. One day, a 4th grade student brought this book to the group. He said that he found it in his classroom after all of the "good ones" were already taken. He asked if he could share two of the poems. As he read them, the other teacher and I had to hold back tears. This is a phenomenal book that kids who are going through family struggles or changes can relate too. One of the students said, "This boy writes really good poems". We explained to him that the photo on the cover was the author when he was a boy experiencing the feelings of these poems. This is a phenomenal book to keep in a classroom on the chance that some quiet child, who may be struggling with issues at home, could be lucky enough to come across.
