{"product_id":"the-rainbow-hand-9781439207000","title":"The Rainbow Hand","description":"The poems in this award-winning collection celebrate the relationship between mothers and their children, with a wide variety of subjects and emotions--from a child walking in her mother's comforting, protective shadow to a ten-year-old girl wondering if her mother was a clean freak when she was young. Here is \"Mother's Heart\" \"My mother's heart \/ is a bottle \/ I want to fill with warm milk \/ to soothe her hurts \/ with honey to trap her bitterness \/ with a squirt of Tabasco--Shake her up!\" Inspired by her memories of her mother and her own role as a mother of a young son, these poems by Wong, skillfully illustrated in full color by Jennifer Hewitson, create an honest portrait of timeless human connections. Sometimes funny, always sensitive, this collection will find a ready audience among young people, especially children and teens who are interested in writing their own poems. THE RAINBOW HAND was a Penn State \/ Lee Bennett Hopkins Award Honor Book and an ABA Pick of the Lists. Praise from Reviewers: \"In an exquisite and moving collection of poetry, Wong explores the myriad emotions connected to the word and image of 'mother' . . . a gift book for children to read with adults.\" - Kirkus \"Like the presence of a mother's hand, Wong's thoughtful and reflective volume is comforting and easily accessible. The poems are solid and steady reminders of the connections between mothers and children . . . Universal love, discipline, strength, and emotion are all in evidence here.\" - School Library Journal \"All of [the poems] hold a kernel of truth that readers of all ages will recognize . . . Children will find their own tangled feelings here.\" - Booklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Hewitson,Janet Wong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439207000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJanet Wong (www.janetwong.com) is the author of more than two dozen books for children and teens, including picture books (THE DUMPSTER DIVER), poetry collections (TWIST: Yoga Poems), chapter books (MINN AND JAKE), an autobiography focusing on her writing process (BEFORE IT WRIGGLES AWAY), and a book of poems about voting (DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE: Poems for an Election Year).
