Peace, Locomotion

Her choice to use poetry really brings out the emotion and voice of the protagonist. I'm curious whether she wanted to make the story more accessible or to highlight the character's inner world.

The poems touched on universal experiences but also felt very personal. I'd love to hear how others related to the protagonist's journey of self-discovery.

Some poems are so powerful and vivid, but I wonder if the format helps or hinders understanding for middle grade audiences. What do others think about poetry as a storytelling tool here?
