Summary: |
The author has collected photographs of children and families from around the world to illustrate his prose-poem about children. |
Teaching Ideas: |
In the introduction, the author relates how people responded to the photographs in Brown Angels by sending him family collections of photographs and student books of poetry written for family photographs. In addition to applying this idea, teachers could encourage discussion of the geographic location of photographs and explore the cultural connotations of exotic words such as "tabla" and "kola nuts." Students might write journal entries on how we celebrate children. |
