When a Book Begins: A Book of Poems
Alegra Dashielle, illustrated by Daniela Alarcon
This collection of playful poems uses a recurring “When a” opening before taking readers in unexpected directions. The verses introduce quirky situations and characters, including a dog caught up in a wild car ride, a flower looking for its home, and a crow enduring a thoroughly bad day. Humor shapes these short fictional adventures, while surprising turns keep each poem imaginative and lively. Together, the poems celebrate the possibilities of language and the creative pleasure of storytelling.
