All Small is a book compiled of many different poems. The one poem that I focused on is titled "Tomorrows". This poem is about how each day comes and goes so quickly. I think the big idea of this poem is to live and enjoy each day at a time. I liked this poem for two reasons. The first reason I liked it was because of how it ended. The author ends the poem by saying "And so....and so..." The reader can now get a sense of how days just continues, today turns into yesterday and tomorrow turns into today, etc. The second reason I liked this poem was because the illustration used shows a little boy in bed looking out the window, but it is actually daytime outside and not bedtime. To me as the reader, it seems the author is portraying the little boy thinking "Wow, tomorrow is here already? It was just yesterday." Illustrations add meaning to the text and can also allow the reader to add their own interpretation. ( )
