Where would we be without them? Where would we be without one another?

Synopsis:

Nye ("A Maze Me: Poems for Girls") pays tribute to the essentials in life--loved ones, memories, the planet--in this new collection of more than 80 poems sure to leave readers feeling curiously sweeter and profoundly soothed. Features beautiful jacket art by Chris Raschka.
