Enormous Smallness: A Story of E. E. Cummings
Matthew Burgess, Kris Di Giacomo
Kids and poetry belong together!! Both play, and for children, the logic of life is still poetic rather than rational, as it is for adults. Teacher, parents, grandparents: everyone loves sharing poems with children. The book will be sophisticated and visually stunning as all of Di Giacomo's books are, which positions this as a title for Museum stores and the gift market as well as for the educational market. Gift market: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles: what better gift in our media-saturated world than a gorgeous book about a poet who chose ALIVENESS over just living life. With blurbs promised from some big names, this book might just be a breakout in the world of illustrated nonfiction, though books in this category are already doing very, very well.

I love his poems, they are so cute with the "little birdie's" and the expressions, the words he invents made me laugh out loud and reading him aloud is the best way to understand his poetry properly.
