Willie's notebooks filled up, one after another. Willie's words gave him freedom and peace, but he also knew he needed to earn a living. So he went off to medical school and became a doctor -- one of the busiest men in town  Yet he never stopped writing poetry. In this picture book biography of William Carlos Williams, Jen Bryant's engaging prose and Melissa Sweet's stunning mixed-media illustrations celebrate the amazing man who found a way to earn a living and to honor his calling to be a poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Bryant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eerdmans Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 9.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802853028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e124292 \/ River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Awards (Fall) (2008-Up) - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Caldecott Medal - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Beehive Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Delaware Diamonds Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Keystone to Reading Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lupine Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Cybils - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2008 pg. 744\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2008 pg. 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/09\/2008 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2008 pg. 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/16\/2008 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2009 pg. 23","brand":"Eerdmans Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40815458975897,"sku":"9780802853028","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_5421b894-dd5d-4e83-be69-ef84858a09d3.jpg?v=1724703152","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/a-river-of-words-the-story-of-william-carlos-williams-9780802853028","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
