The carefully chosen anthologies and collections span reading levels from sixth to twelfth grade, and a tremendous breath of interest areas. Poets whose works are cited range from the classic to the contemporary, cover a broad ethnic and geographic spectrum, and range in style from humorous to tragic, rap to blues, free verse to rhymes, and limericks to haiku. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis survey of young adult poetry represents a careful selection and evaluation process undertaken by the authors in consultation with classroom teachers.

The authors offer helpful suggestions for ways that these poetry works may be used in the English classroom and beyond; for igniting creative sparks with young writers, for science and social studies discussion, counseling sessions, and for sheer enjoyment.

It uses humor and everyday life to gently and non-threateningly expose children to the importance of appropriately expressing feelings. The clever use of the closet as a metaphor addresses a familiar and common experience many children have when confronted with overwhelming feelings. The authors invite children to engage in a process of cleaning as they go, little by little, which lends hope to an otherwise large goal. As children, and adults alike, embrace the important message of Jameon's Closet, we can expect maturity and well-being for all. Ceth Ashen, PhD Clinical Psychologist BOOK REVIEW https: \/\/readersfavorite.com\/book-review\/jameons-closet Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite Jameon's Closet is an educational children's picture book written by Shauna Havlina and Leanne Richter. Jameon is not sure how he's going to clean out that closet in his bedroom. If it were an ordinary closet, he'd have no problem, but he's frightened of even opening the door to look inside. You see, he's been putting dirty socks and t-shirts, empty candy wrappers and anything else he didn't want to put or throw away inside that closet. Jameon's bedroom always looked so neat and tidy that his grandma would actually let him have extra time to play his games, but eventually she found out about the closet. All those stinky socks and t-shirts, combined with the fact that he had no clean socks left at all, made her suspicious. Now she wants that closet cleaned out. She's going to make it a bit easier for Jameon though. Grandma knows a guy named Jon, who is pretty good at figuring out how to clean closets. Jon's a counselor, and he showed Jameon how they could fix that closet just a little bit at a time -- and it worked! Richter and Havlina are licensed marriage and family therapists who've worked with traumatized kids and their families for over ten years. Their story, Jameon's Closet, provides kids and their caregivers with a helpful metaphor for helping kids release long suppressed feelings and emotions in slow, supportive and contained processes. The story explains to kids how storing up their memories and feelings is similar to Jameon's awful closet. The illustrations provided are bright, funny and lively, and they work perfectly with the upbeat and positive message of the story. Jameon's Closet is most highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeanne and Shauna are licensed marriage and family therapists working with youth in Los Angeles County.
