Lend A Hand, written by John Frank and illustrated by London Ladd, recently received two great reviews from The Horn Book Guide and Minervareads.com.
The Horn Book wrote:
“In each free-verse poem, a child narrator recalls acting generously. Coupled with expansive, freeze-the-moment acrylic, colored-pencil, and pastel illustrations, frequent line breaks invite readers to move slowly through each poem and linger in the moments of kindness. Ladd’s art particularizes the diverse array of narrators, themes, and settings.”
The book was featured on the MinervaReads website as part of an article on poetry books for kids. Read the article “Poetry: It doesn’t have to be boring” here.
