How to Read a Book

Newbery Medalist Kwame Alexander brings you How to Read a Book, a poetic journey about the experience of reading.

Find a tree-a
black tupelo or
dawn redwood will do-and
plant yourself.
(It's okay if you prefer a stoop, like Langston Hughes.)

With these words, an adventure begins. Kwame Alexander's evocative poetry takes listeners on a sensory journey between the pages of a book.
