Love Poems
BY NIKKI GIOVANNI This is a companion volume to Giovanni's love poems of 1997. Since then Giovanni has experienced losses both public and private. The death of her mother and sister, the massacre at Virginia Tech where she teaches. And just when it seemed life was spinning out of control, Giovanni rediscovered love-what she calls the antidote. Here romantic love-and all its manifestations, the physical touch, the emotional pull, the hungry heart-is distilled as never before by one of our most talented poets.

An Aesop's Fable Revisited
BY NIKKI GIOVANNI Every year the Grasshoppers sing and play their instruments and the Ants work in rhythm to the music. The crops come up smoothly, and the Ants bring in the harvest to the Grasshoppers' beat. But when winter comes, the Ants turn their backs on the Grasshoppers, and Jimmy Grasshopper finds this unfair. He hires lawyers to sue for a half share of the harvest and some respect. But will a jury of his peers (or at least other woodland creatures) agree about the worth of art?

BY NIKKI GIOVANNI, ILLUSTRATED BY BRYAN COLLIER "She had not sought this moment but she was ready for it. When the policeman bent down to ask `Auntie, are you going to move?' all the strength of all the people through all those many years joined in her. She said, `No.'" This book presents an inspiring account of an event that shaped American history. Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This picture- book tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed.
