    Wow! The illustrations are AMAZING just like the "Amazing Faces." The poems are so touching. I like "Living Above Good Fortune" you have to look in the pictures to get the "Good Fortune" part (search below the girl).

    I liked this book. It was easy to read and each poem told a different story. The poem "Chinatown" reminded me of how I sit with my mom when she does her work. I liked that. ***
