A.Maze Me by Naomi Shihab Nye
This book of poetry, geared toward girls in upper elementary (but also good for boys!), is chocked full of wisdom and insight and gorgeous words. Here is a snippet of the magic:
Life is a tangle of
Twisting paths.
Some short.
Some long.
There are dead ends.
And there are choices.
And wrong turns,
And detours,
And yield signs,
And instruction booklets,
And star maps,
And happiness,
And loneliness.
And friends.
And sisters.
And love.
And poetry.
Life is a maze.
You are a maze.
Amazed.
And amazing.
