Summary: Make sure that your heart Isn't too well-defended. Your heart is designed To be broken and mended. - "The Heart" These quietly beautiful and surprisingly humorous four-line poems reveal the many aspects of first love - the longing, the frustration and the joy. The poet writes not from a single point of view but instead embraces the duality of first love, alternating between the perspectives of a boy and a girl. The poems and revealing illustrations by Julie Morstad combine to inspire young readers to think & and think again.
