      So short, sweet and simple, but it speaks volumes about friendships old and new, and demonstrating compassion towards someone in a difficult situation. I started and finished while on a 15-minute break!

      Dyamonde is excited to enter a poetry contest which rewards the winner with a one hundred dollars! After discovering one of their classmates lives in a shelter, Dyamonde and her friends decide she needs it the most. She also just so happens to be the best poet in the class. This is a very eye opening book for children and allows them to see the real issues occurring in the world. It also gives hope to people that may be in a similar situation. This was a very enlightening read and I enjoyed the novel.

      Nikki Grimes's novel follows the friendship of three children (Dyamonde, Free, and Damaris) as they enter a poetry contest in their school. Along the way, Dyamonde discovers Damaris is living in a shelter and has recently been evicted from her home. Dyamonde encourages her friend to write about her 'home' at the shelter. The book tackles the complex concept of poverty in an insightful, but easy to understand manner.

      Dyamonde Daniel is a confident, out-spoken third-grader "who likes to know everything that's going on." When she notices a quiet, shy girl in her class named Damaris Dancer, she makes a point to get to know her. What she discovers teaches her a valuable lesson about friendship, sympathy and to accept others for who they are. Rich: A Dyamonde Daniel Book addresses the inevitable issue of poverty and lightens it up so that a third-grader is able to digest it. It also shows the side of the less fortunate and may make those in a similar a situation feel less alone. Along with incorporating real-life difficulties into the lives of young fictional characters, Nikki Grimes uses this book to introduce the power of poetry to young readers.
