About the Book
Every summer, relatives (old and young, big and small) come together from all over the country for a reunion. All have one thing in common: their love for each other. They sleep wherever there is room. They eat and laugh and tell stories and remember. And a nine-year old boy captures it all in his words. This beautiful, inspirational collection of poems by newcomer Traci Dant is matched with the extraordinary paintings of acclaimed illustrator Eric Velasquez. Some Kind of Love is a book for every family to treasure.

Traci Dant lives in Oswego, Illinois.

Eric Velasquez lives in Hartsdale, New York.
 
 


Some Kind of Love Reviews



"In this moving tribute, 15 poems describe the joy of one African-American family's annual reunion weekend."

School Library Journal, May 2010

"...lyrical yet plainspoken poems describe a large African-American family’s reunion in Missouri, while Velasquez’s expressive oils make the family’s reunion members feel alive."

—PW, April 26, 2010

"Family stories help with today’s tough times."

—Booklist, April 1, 2010
