16 Words: William Carlos Williams & "The Red Wheelbarrow", by Lisa Rogers and Chuck Groenink
€6.00
Quay Books
"Look out the window. What do you see? If you are Dr. William Carlos Williams, you see a wheelbarrow. A drizzle of rain. Chickens scratching in the damp earth."
The wheelbarrow belongs to Thaddeus Marshall, a street vendor, who every day goes to work selling vegetables on the streets of Rutherford, New Jersey. That simple action inspires poet and doctor Williams to pick up some of his own tools—a pen and paper—and write his most famous poem.In this lovely picture book about William Carlos Williams, young listeners will see how being mindful and paying attention to the simplest everyday things can inspire the greatest art, as they learn about a great American poet.
"At once spare and lush: a gorgeous introduction to the power of poetry." —Kirkus Reviews
