This is Just to Say

It is often hard to say "I'm sorry" or ask forgiveness when you've done something wrong. This book by Joyce Sidman, is a collection of poems by the sixth grade students in Mrs. Merz's class. They each have writen an apology, in the form of a poem, to someone they may have hurt. The book also includes poems of acceptance from some of the addressees. The mixed media illustrations by Pamela Zagarenski enhance the atmosphere of the book.
