Charming, colorful illustrations accompany mostly short poems by Kunin. Various rhyme schemes are represented. Good as a resource.

During a horse and carriage accident Kumin fractured her neck in two places (C1 and C2). She shouldn't have survived the accident. 95% of the population with similar injuries do not. Doctors went on to tell her that 95% percent of the people who do survive that kind of Type II break are irreparably damaged; paralyzed for life. Kumin defied the odds and not only survived but gained nearly 100% percent mobility. Inside the Halo is a memoir about that journal back to near-normalcy. It is a story of courage and acceptance. Kumin's courage to fight through a long and agonizing period of recovery and acceptance that some scars, mental and physical, remain.… (mehr)
