I Carry Your Heart with Me

A mother shows her daughter the world, from season to season, from night into day, in the sweet, collage artwork that accompanies the poem “[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in],” by E. E. Cummings. Mellow colors and images patched together from paper, cardboard, fabric, canvas, and paint fuse beautifully with Cummings’s gentle words. This masterful merging of poetry and illustration makes for the perfect book for bedtime. Ages two to five.
