Padma Venkatram Presents "Safe Spaces"


POEM SHARE: Children's poets from across the globe presenting their favorite poems for Poetry Month and beyond!

What better way to start this year's POEM SHARE, than with a poem that celebrates reading! In "Safe Spaces" award-winning author of The Bridge Home Padma Venkatraman shares the wonder and comfort of public libraries. 


"Safe Spaces" is an excerpt from Padma Venkatraman's novel-in-verse Safe Harbor, about an immigrant girl adjusting to life in the US through her love of nature, music, and poetry.

I hope Padma's reading of "Safe Spaces" inspires you to visit your public library this month and check out some poetry!
