Description
Summary:"A face is a poem with all the parts put together, adding up to a someone you love. Have you ever stopped and looked, really looked, at a face? Do faces stay the same forever, or do they change? Where do our faces come from? In a playful and sensitive philosophical exploration, award-winning author/illustrator Julie Morstad guides readers through a fantastical meditation on the unique eyes, noses, mouths, freckles, wrinkles, scars and all those one-of-a-kind marks that make up a face. Embracing commonalities and differences alike, A Face Is a Poem is an ode to the unique beauty of each and every person's unique appearance, with an empowering message of self-love."--
