Description:
Have you ever stopped and looked, really looked, at a face? Do faces stay the same forever, or do they change? What if we could change faces to see through someone else’s eyes? What if eyelashes were butterflylashes?
Julie Morstad guides readers through a playful and fantastical exploration of the unique eyes, noses, mouths, freckles, wrinkles, scars and all those one-of-a-kind marks that make up a face. Embracing commonalities and differences alike, A Face Is a Poem is an ode to the unique beauty of each and every person’s appearance, with an empowering message of love.
My Thoughts
I love the message of this book. We’re all unique and beautiful. I also like that it could appreciated at any day. It’s written simplistically enough that a young child can understand, but it could also lead to deeper discussions with older children.
