It's Monday. What Are You Reading?

i carry your heart with me by e.e. cummings ill. by mati mcdonough

Today I am reading (for the millionth time!) i carry your heart with me. This poem by e.e. cummings has been a long time favorite of mine, so when I saw it at Blue Willow months ago, I knew it needed to come home with me!

The words, of course, are lovely...but Mati McDonough has added illustrations that give the reader a totally different interpretation than that of a romantic love--she depicts the love between mother and child and the result is beautiful.
