During the final three weeks of the previous school year, Barrington Elementary was writing. The rigor of tests and homework began to fade, and something else took its place. In the case of Ms. Andreeva’s delightful second-grade class, that “something else” was poetry. In this collection of their work, we can see inside the hearts of these young writers—the people, places, and things that fill them with wonder and admiration. Ms. Andreeva’s class produced a wonderful collection of ideas. In no small way, they bared their souls.
