Hardcover. NY, Enchanted Lion Books, 3rd pr., 2015, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Enormous Smallness is a nonfiction picture book about the poet E.E. cummings. Here E.E.'s life is presented in a way that will make children curious about him and will lead them to play with words and ask plenty of questions as well. Lively and informative, the book also presents some of Cummings's most wonderful poems, integrating them seamlessly into the story to give the reader the music of his voice and a spirited, sensitive introduction to his poetry. In keeping with the epigraph of the book -- "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are," Matthew Burgess's narrative emphasizes the bravery it takes to follow one's own vision and the encouragement E.E. received to do just that. Lovely color plates by Kris Di Giacomo enhance the story. Clean copy.
