HarperCollins Flood Warning
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Accessible text explains how rain can cause overflow in rivers and lakes and, as a result, flood basements and houses. The text exudes a gentle tone. The abstract style of some illustrations complements the discussion of saturated ground, storm surge, flash floods, and flood plains. A few insets add contrasting information, such as how elephants feel a coming tsunami through their feet. Even the annual floods of the Nile are mentioned, with visual reference to ancient Egyptian art—an indication of the wide range of content included. A flood plan and a list of emergency supplies are great additions." — School Library Journal

Book SynopsisTrade Review“In 80-plus poems, Nye writes conversationally, injecting humor, outrage, and reminiscence. . . . Nye at her engaging, insightful best." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “[Nye] challenges readers to become activists and to gain deeper awareness of their surroundings. . . . Her poetic polemic on trash is truly a treasure for readers.” — Booklist (starred review) “Rich variety and impressive scope. . . . Nye’s beautiful and timely collection [is] filled with haunting, sensory images. A must-have for all poetry collections.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “A sharp look at what we choose to discard and at our blinkered belief in our right to do so. Yet it’s also gentle, affectionate, and at times subtly funny . . . Young readers looking for an alternative to cli-fi may embrace this thoughtful cli-po.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) “Nye finds inspiration in those things we throw away—as well as in the act of throwing things away and that of picking them up again. . . . Pick up a poem, why don’t you?” — Horn Book Magazine "Naomi Shihab Nye documents and reflects on the leavings of our existence in keenly observant, probing, unabashed poems.” — Cooperative Children's Book Center “Trash is poetic treasure in this intriguing collection of verse by the current Young People’s Poet Laureate. Nye’s keen eye for the small, revealing detail — a comforting pine cone, a lost mitten — encourages us to notice and perhaps write about the odd, stray things that surround us.” — Washington Post
