A River of Words
written by Jen Bryant
illustrated by Melissa Sweet
Willie loved to write — words gave him freedom and peace.

In this picture book biography of poet William Carlos Williams, Jen Bryant’s engaging prose and Melissa Sweet’s stunning mixed-media illustrations celebrate the amazing man whose poems about ordinary, everyday things will inspire young readers to create poems of their own.
