Book Description:
Nobody can see my name on me.
My name is inside
and all over me, unseen
like other people also keep it.
Isn't my name magic?
Dreena is a dreamer. She wonders about the magic of names and marvels at the differences between people -- like how her sister Ziza plays guitar while her brother, Delroy, 'plays crazy faces.'
Delroy is full of energy. He's a breakdancer, a skateboarder, an athlete -- and every bit as much a poet as his sister:
Sittn down is all immobility;
On my skateboard I show agility.
Out in the open a boy's ahright;
there's notn to him like takin flight.
In Isn't My Name Magical? this irresistible sister and brother team write poems about their family, friends, and favorite activities. Their poems sparkle with energy, and Dreena, the dreamer, and Delroy, the skateboard flyer, are as vibrant in Shelly Hehenberger's richly colored art as they are in acclaimed poet James Berry's rolling words.
