2018 School Spending Survey Report
From the Editor - April 2021
It is National Poetry Month, and the books selected by our editors for this issue of Notes remind me of how pliable our definition of poetry has had to become: it can be poetry-poetry, as in the collections by Naomi Shihab Nye, Jack Prelutsky, and Nikki Grimes reviewed above; but it can also be fiction, as in Linda Sue Park’s The One Thing You’d Save and Lisa Fipps’s Starfish; or nonfiction, as in Joyce Sidman’s Dear Treefrog.

As I say every year in announcing the winners of the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards, there might be three categories — Picture Book, Fiction, and Nonfiction — but poetry hops around. Like a treefrog, even. As it should. We’ll be celebrating poetry all month long; catch up with our reviews and click the tag Poetry.
