“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.” —Leonardo da Vinci

Based on this simple statement by Leonardo, eighteen poets have written new poems inspired by some of the most popular works in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum. The collection represents a wide range of poets and artists, including acclaimed children’s poets Marilyn Singer, Alma Flor Alda, and Carole Boston Weatherford and popular artists such as Mary Cassatt, Fernando Botero, Winslow Homer, and Utagawa Hiroshige.

Accompanying the artwork and specially commissioned poems is an introduction, biographies of each poet and artist, and an index.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book’s true spotlight is on diversity—in the background of the poets, the style of the artworks, and the method of interpretation chosen by each poet . . . The poems emphasize that in art and poetry there is no right answer, rather a myriad of different interpretations. Accordingly, there is something for every young reader in this delightful collection."
―Booklist

"The specially commissioned poems, which easily lend themselves to reading aloud, are well matched with their individual artwork and can be excellent springboards for further discussion about the picture."―School Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning Book, Certain to Delight Children and Adults; Easy to Return to Again and Again.

A stunning work with evocative poems accessible for children of all ages. Poems that will inspire and art that will make children curious. I have used this book to help children write poetry based on a painting by Georgia O'Keefe. The results were impressive. A book that should be in all libraries at home, school and for the public. These poems are by some of the strongest current poems writing for children.

My five year old granddaughter and I read some of the poems on her recent visit. She loved the pictures and it was a great way to hear what she saw in the art and imagine her own story to go with the painting. I cannot wait to explore it further on her return visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful picture book based on art and kid friendly poetry
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Read a review about this book in a Sunday newspaper and decided to purchase it as a mother's day gift. My daughter loves to read to her children and this is a great way to introduce kids to major artists, artwork, and poetry. The poems are written by the top 18 children's poets in America and all are kid friendly, but I wouldn't quite say that about the art depicted which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Each poem is inspired by the feelings the artwork brought out in the poet. There are many great opportunities with this title to start conversations with children. From the time periods the art was made, to what feelings the child experiences from the art, to the types of art, the artist, the language and cadence of the poem, etc. Check out the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to get a feel for the art and poems included and search on the title of the book to read some reviews. I"m sure this book will be a keeper!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018
This is a beautiful book and a treasure to keep and to gift. Stunning poetry from some of the best around. It will make your next trip to a museum that much more interesting when you see the art through your own poet eyes. Wonderful for children to connect their sense of vision to the art of poetry. It will be a gift I give for many years to come. Hats off to Lee Bennett Hopkins for another inventive anthology. A classic book has been born.
