A Suitcase of Seaweed was originally published in 1996 by Margaret K. McElderry Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, as thirty-six poems plus three prose pieces. It received many accolades and was named an NCSS Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. While the entire text of the original book is presented here in A Suitcase of Seaweed & MORE, more than half of this book is brand new. You'll find snippets of story about the inspiration behind the poems, extensions of the themes, and general musings, as well as writing prompts to get young readers thinking, talking, and also writing about their own identities. Wong's "Advice for Writers" will inspire them to write their own books, too!

The poems in this collection are about mothers and their children, both from the child's perspective and the mother's. Ranging in subject from a child walking in her mother's comforting, protective shadow to a ten-year-old girl wondering if her mother was a freak when she was ten years old to a mother holding her infant son, these poems touch on all aspects of the mother/child relationship. Here is "Mother's Heart": My mother's heart is a bottle I want to fill with warm milk to soothe her hurts with honey to trap her bitterness with a squirt of Tabasco - Shake her up! Inspired by her memories of her mother and her own role as a mother of a young son, these poems, skillfully illustrated in full color by Jennifer Hewitson, create an honest portrait of timeless human connections. Sometimes funny, sometimes sarcastic, always sensitive, the poems will find a ready audience among young people.
