Poetry can have both a rhyme and a rhythm. Sometimes it is obvious; sometimes it is hidden. But either way, make no mistake, poetry is as vibrant and exciting as it gets. And when you find yourself clapping your hands or tapping your feet, you know you've found poetry with a beat!
Hip Hop Speaks to Children is meant to be the beginning of a journey of discovery. It contains 50 poems, songs, and writings paired with original illustrations including Langston Hughes's elegant gospel "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," A Tribe Called Quest's playful "Ham 'N' Eggs," Sterling A. Brown's hard-luck "Long Track Blues," Gwendolyn Brooks's wake-up call "We Real Cool," Kanye West's lovely "Hey Mama," and Martin Luther King Jr.'s awe-inspiring "I Have a Dream," and more. The CD features more than 30 performances of these works, either by the artists who created them, or as unique interpretations by admiring poets and artists.Book with CD, 72 pages.
