Publisher Description: Naomi Shihab Nye is one of the most beloved poets in America, and the poem "Famous" is literally her most famous poem. It has been used in countless commencement speeches--from elementary school to university graduations. At once simple and profound, this illustrated version of the poem is a charmingly ironic take on what it means to be "famous." It is a perfect gift book for people of all ages--for those who need encouragement, who are at a crossroads, who are graduating, who are nervous about the future, or who want to be more or other than they are. |
