Minneapolis, Minnesota, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — This October, Carolrhoda Books\u00e2,<\/a> an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group<\/a>™<\/u>, presents The Mistakes That Made Us: Confessions from Twenty Poets<\/i><\/a> selected by award-winning authors Irene Latham and Charles Waters and illustrated by Merc\u00e8 L\u00f3pez. In this beautiful collection, twenty brave poets share real-life blunders they made as young people and reveal how they learned from them. <\/p>\n

Scoring a goal against your own team. Copying a classmate’s schoolwork. Accepting a dare to jump down the stairs . . . and getting hurt. Nobody\u2019s perfect and while making mistakes can be embarrassing, frustrating, and sometimes tearful, what matters is how we respond and learn from them. Twenty celebrated poets\u2014Linda Sue Park, Margarita Engle, Allan Wolf, David Elliott, Matt Forrest Esenwine, Lacresha Berry, George Ella Lyon, Jaime Adoff, Vikram Madan, Kim Rogers, Douglas Florian, Tabatha Yeatts, Jorge Argueta, Jane Yolen, Charles Waters, JaNay Brown-Wood, Irene Latham, April Halprin Wayland, Darren Sardelli, and Naomi Shihab Nye\u2014courageously offer young readers some of the mistakes they made in their youth through many forms of verse. Each poem is followed by a short prose explanation of what happened afterward and what the poet learned. Vibrant, wholesome illustrations from Merc\u00e8 L\u00f3pez accompany each experience with grace and humor. <\/p>\n

The Mistakes That Made Us<\/i> is the perfect book for all who are growing and discovering the best way forward\u2014which is all of us. Each poem and shared experience will encourage young readers to explore their own mistakes with a light heart and a growth mindset. <\/p>\n

About the Authors and Illustrator<\/b>
Irene Latham<\/b><\/a> and Charles Waters<\/b><\/a>, also known as I & C Construction Company, have been creating books together since 2015. Their published titles include\u00a0Can I Touch Your Hair? Poems of Race, Mistakes and Friendship<\/em>, which was named an NCTE Charlotte Huck Honor book; Dictionary for a Better World: Poems, Quotes and Anecdotes from A to Z; African Town,\u00a0<\/em>winner of the Scott O\u2019Dell Award for Historical Fiction; and\u00a0Be a Bridge.\u00a0<\/em>They want you to know that they\u2019ve made many mistakes along the way, but they continue to grow and learn\u2014just like you. This is their first time curating an anthology.<\/p>\n

Merc\u00e8 L\u00f3pez<\/b><\/a> became an illustrator by accident. Her real intention was to be a sculptor, but she fell in love with the visual metaphors she saw exhibited at her art school in Barcelona, Sapin, and ended up becoming a children\u2019s book illustrator. With this passionate mistake, she has illustrated more than fifty books for publishers all over the world, as well as two books published in France that she wrote and illustrated. She won a Lazarillo Award in 2022 in collaboration with Javier Berm\u00fadez for\u00a0Monta\u00f1as<\/em>, a project that also talks about a funny mistake.<\/p>\n
