He's written a wonderful poem and illustrated it with his incredible paintings. If you know Thomas Locker's work you'll know how perfect this book would be for you. The poem and paintings are utterly inspirational. Kids can write poems from the paintings. Both these books give kids new images and ways to think about water.
Kids love that book too.

I've been moved unwillingly to the 5th grade,after teaching 1st for years. I have trouble knowing how to teach writing to motivate my students. I want them to want to write and to produce quality work.
