Looking at the World:
Observational Drawings & Poems

During the spring of 2011 I visited Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Highland Park, IL. An after-school 'poetry club' met regularly and created some great work. Check out these observational drawings and poems--which demonstrate the power of paying attention....and playfulness!
