    FROM SARAH:

    William Carlos Williams believed poetry didn't belong in lofty places, so he spent his life looking for art in the ordinary. Melissa Sweet's collage-style illustrations, layered with found objects and handwritten bits, echo William’s habit of finding beauty in everyday things. It’s easy to see why this one earned a Caldecott Honor Award!

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    In this picture book biography of William Carlos Williams, Jen Bryant’s engaging prose and Melissa Sweet’s stunning mixed-media illustrations celebrate the amazing man who found a way to earn a living and to honor his calling to be a poet.
