Welcome, Precious by Nikki Grimes (Poetry Picture Book)

My favorite part about this book is the words Nikki uses throughout the book. They are very creative and unique that make a beautiful poem. For example, "welcome to robin song adn teh swis of the leaves in the breeze," and "welcome to the skil of grass, the satin of rose petals, and the suqish of sand between your toes." She gives great visual images that allows the reader to use there senses and actually feel, see, smell the wonderful parts of the world.

What I also enjoy is that she talks about the wonders of the world but most of those wonders are parts that are so close to you. The warmth of your fathers arms, your grandmother and your mom. They are just as precious, rare and wonderous as the rest of the wonderful creations throughout the world.
