Words with Wings by Nikki Grimes - - ADVISABLE

Grimes, Nikki Words with Wings 84 pgs. WordSong, 2013. $15.95. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: G.  Gabrielle's mind wanders.  She hears a word and suddenly, she's there: at the circus, on a sled, flying through space. But she doesn't concentrate at school, and her mother is out of patience.  Can a wise teacher channel her imagination?  

Gabrielle is older than kindergarten, but probably still in elementary school.  The poetry tells both the story and her daydreams.  Very short, but worth thinking about for your elementary library.
