Valerie Bloom’s Stars with Flaming Tails illustrated by Ken Wilson-Max (Otter-Barry Books), has won the CLiPPA, the UK’s leading award for published poetry for children.

Poet Philip Gross, chair of the judges, said: “Stars with Flaming Tails is like a passport to the whole world, and beyond. This is poetry that can go anywhere, from the personal to the planetary, the surreal to the scientific, with its invitation to us all to look, and to laugh, to listen to our feelings, and to think. And meanwhile, almost without noticing it, we’re being handed the keys to the craft of writing for ourselves.”

Louise Johns-Shepherd, CLPE chief executive, said: “Valerie’s inspiring collection invites children to engage with poetry in so many different ways and speaks beautifully to all realms of human experience. It deserves to be in every book corner and library in the land.“

Stars with Flaming Tails was previously selected for EmpathyLab’s Read for Empathy Collection 2022, and longlisted for the UKLA Award. On publication last year it was selected by Imogen Russell Williams as a Guardian Book of the Month.

“Poetry is read aloud less than once a week in 93% of schools. In nearly 20% of schools, children never have the opportunity to hear a poem read aloud … the survey found that nearly a quarter of schools teach poetry only once a year or less, partly due to a lack of training and support for teachers.”

One in five children’s books features character of colour – but fiction lags behind

New survey finds steep rise in recent years but presence of minoritised characters is often ‘poorly executed or insignificant’

by Sarah Shaffi

Almost 20% of children’s books now feature characters of colour, according to a new survey, but many still put forward “poorly represented characters” and contain “difficult and damaging portrayals”.

The Reflecting Realities survey, conducted by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), is now in its fifth year and monitors the diversity within children’s books in the UK.

Of the 5,383 children’s picture books, fiction and non-fiction from 2021 assessed for the latest report, 1,059 (or 20%) featured a character of colour, up by 5% from the year before and by 16% from the first survey in 2017.

Characters of colour featured as part of the main cast in 9% of books, which the report said was “slow but positive growth”, although “it remains a very low figure”.

Reading Log 4

Under the Moon and Over the Sea: A Collection of Caribbean Poems

Category: Children's poetry anthology Author: Various authors, edited by John Agard & Grace Nichols Illustrator: Cathie Felstead, Jane Ray, Christopher Corr, Satoshi Kitamura, and Sara Fanelli Format: Print Publisher: Candlewick Press Publication Date: January 1, 2003 Target Audience: Children aged 6–8 Awards: CLPE Poetry Award Physical Structure: 8.75in x 10.5in, 77 pages Content: As the title indicates, this book is a collection of poems about the Caribbean region. The poems are separated into five themed sections ("Once the Wind Said to the Sea," "See Full Moon, Hear Jumbie Story," Listening to the Land," "Come Taste and Buy," and "Windrush Child"), each illustrated by a different artist. The poems in the book delve into physical aspects of the Caribbean region, the culture of the people living there, the food they eat, and so much more.

Assessment: I actually think that this book would be better suited for children slightly older than the recommended age range, perhaps 8–10 or 9–12, because there are references to things like razorblades and bombs that seem questionable to present to a first grader. The illustrations in the book work really well with the text, and the fact that many different artists worked on the book adds depth to the work as a whole. Quality: This book is a great showcase of diverse writers and their work, and the poems within are beautiful and moving descriptions of life in the Caribbean, ranging from lyric descriptions of the sea to retellings of classic folktales. From what I could tell, the writers are almost all from the Caribbean region, but none of the illustrators are. I think that a work like this should be created by individuals who represent the subjects of the text and illustrations. Potential Use: This book would be a great introduction to regional poetry for upper elementary students and could be used as a read-aloud or suggested background reading. Appeal: The illustrations in this book are bold and bright, and the various art styles make the book interesting and dynamic. The poems cover a wide range of topics and together paint a picture of a region of the world. This book is a lens into a culture that is different from ours.

The Beauty of the Beast: Poems from the Animal Kingdom

Category: Children's poetry anthology Author: Various authors; poems selected by Jack Prelutsky Illustrator: Meilo So Format: Print Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers Publication Date: August 1997 Target Audience: Children ages 5 & up Awards: ALA Notable Book Physical Structure: 8.7in x 11.26in, 112 pages Content: This book is an anthology of over 200 poems about animals, divided into five sections based on type of animal ("In Trillions We Thrive"—insects, "Jubilant, We Swim"—fish, "Dragons in Miniature"—reptiles and amphibians, "Hollow-Boned Singers"—birds, and "Wrapped in Coats of Fur"—mammals).

Assessment: The suggested age range for this book is perfect; it contains tons of poems that are great for young kids, but it can also be appreciated by older children and even teens and adults. The watercolor illustrations work with the text to create movement on the page and bring each animal to life. Quality: The poems in this book are written in a wide range of styles, and they vary from silly ("His beak and skull are both so thick,/You could not hurt him with a brick./His feet are large, his head is small,/He hasn't any brain at all.") to genuine ("There is a time for considering elephants/There is no time for not considering elephants"). Each poem conveys a feeling of awe towards the natural world, as do the illustrations, which is felt deeply by the reader. Potential Use: This is a great book to use as a read-aloud or introduction to form and poetic devices (simile, onomatopoeia, etc.). Appeal: Animal lovers will enjoy this book greatly; it feels like there is a poem for any animal you could think of. The delicate and colorful illustrations create beautiful visuals on each page for children who cannot yet read and for all readers to appreciate as well.

Falling Up

Category: Children's poetry book Author/Illustrator: Shel Silverstein Format: Print Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books Publication Date: January 24, 2006 Target Audience: Children ages 4–8 Awards: Golden Archer Award, Maine Student Book Award, ALA Booklist Editors' Choice, Parents' Choice Gold Award Physical Structure: 8.8in x 6.9in, 184 pages Content: Falling Up is a classic collection of children's poetry, composed of silly and whimsical poems, each paired with a black-and-white illustration.

Assessment: I would say that the recommended age range for this book is a little young. A lot of the jokes will go right over a 4-year-old's head, and some of the illustrations are unsettling. I would put the age range at about 7–12. The illustrations in this book often function as extensions of the poems. For instance, in the poem "Web-Foot Woe," the speaker (a goose) complains about people always yelling "Duck!" and not knowing the difference between ducks and geese. From the illustration, however, the reader can tell that an arrow is coming towards the goose, which is why people are yelling to duck. Quality: As I mentioned earlier, Falling Up is a classic, as are many other Shel Silverstein books. I wanted to see if it would hold up, and I think it definitely does. The poems are all hilarious, and they are great examples of rhythm and rhyme. Potential Use: These poems are great for reading aloud or teaching students how to use rhyme. Appeal: This book is a great one for kids because of how funny it is and how outlandish the illustrations are. Some of the poems are perhaps a little dark, but the book definitely has something for everyone.

Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word

Category: Children's poetry book Author: Bob Racza Illustrator: Nancy Doniger Format: Print Publisher: Roaring Book Press Publication Date: March 15, 2011 Target Audience: Children ages 8–12 Awards: ALA Notable Children's Books Award Physical Structure: 5.84in x 8.79in, 48 pages Content: The poems in this book all begin with a single word. Each word in the poem is then created using only the letters found in the title word. The page is laid out so that each letter is always lined up below its occurrence in the title. For example:

Notice how the "a" is always in line with the "a" in "creative," and same with all the other letters. On the following page, the poem is written out in a more traditional format: creative i crave art

Assessment: The recommended age level for this book is spot-on. The poems are all fun and act a bit like puzzles, which middle schoolers can enjoy and use to challenge themselves. The illustrations work with the text to give hints at what the full poem is trying to convey, which helps make the unusual structure slightly more readable. The inclusion of the full poem in a traditional format lowers the reader's frustration in case a poem is particularly difficult to understand; simply turn the page and find the answer key. And the poems are beautiful and meaningful in themselves, apart from their experimental design. Quality: The poems in this book have a unique form and structure, which makes the book stand apart from other books of poems. The illustrations are somewhat muted and minimal, only using shades of three colors (black, red, and gray), which is really effective when paired with the extremely minimalist poems. Potential Use: This book would be great for teaching kids about form and structure. Appeal: The poems all look super interesting even at first glance, which definitely draws the reader in. It becomes a puzzle to try and figure out what the poems are trying to say, and once you've cracked the code, it's still fun to read each one and see the creativity of the writer.

Forget Me Not

Category: Middle grade novel in verse Author: Ellie Terry Format: eAudio Publisher: Tantor Media, Inc. Publication Date: March 11, 2019 Target Audience: Ages 10–14 Duration: 2 hours, 45 minutes Story: Calli is a middle schooler who is constantly moving to new towns. She has Tourette Syndrome and was told by her mother and her therapist that it may be best not to tell anyone, as most people don't understand the condition and may view her differently. She starts at her new school, where most of her classmates make fun of her and her tics. Her only friend is her neighbor, Jinsong, who is embarrassed to let people know he likes her. The book switches perspectives between Calli and Jinsong, and the two eventually start dating. This is shortly before Calli's mom gets married spontaneously and Calli is forced to move once again and begin yet another new school.

Assessment: This is definitely a middle grade book, great for 4th–8th graders, so I think the recommended age is right on target. The book has themes of bullying and ableism, with an overall message that it is better to be yourself and to stand up for your friends. The story alternates between Calli's perspective, which is written in poem form, and Jinsong's perspective, which is written in prose. I think that this structure choice conveys the characters' personalities very well; Calli is unique, unlike other kids her age, and unconventional, while Jinsong tries hard to fit in and doesn't like to stand out. Quality: The poetry in this book is a great vehicle for portraying Calli's anxieties and mimicking her tics. The author uses repetition, onomatopoeia, and other literary devices to convey how Calli is feeling at any particular moment. I do think that the characterization of Calli's mom as someone whose life is defined by the man she is dating (or the man who recently broke up with her) is a little old-fashioned and one-dimensional. Potential Use: This is a great book for middle graders to read for pleasure or to use as an introduction to the genre of the novel in verse. Appeal: There are not many books about characters with Tourette Syndrome, and many middle schoolers may not even know what it is. The author herself has TS, which makes this story that much more impactful and authentic. This book is moving and teaches kids a great lesson about kindness and acceptance.
