Some readers perceive poetry as something distant, far-fetched, even pretentious.
But sometimes it is very close: in the breakfast cup, in a match or in a barely perceptible noise.
There will also be those who believe that poems are the exclusive heritage of a select group: adults, educated, to compose them as well as to listen to them.
Even the smallest being, however, is capable of creating them, even involuntarily.
How else can we define the first time a child sees the plant he has watered grow?
For these and many other reasons, the list of the best children's and young people's works this month, chosen by 10 booksellers from different Autonomous Communities of Spain, is dedicated to poetry.
From the moon to monsters, from a hug to a fish.
And from established authors like Emily Dickinson, Gloria Fuertes and Antonio Machado to one that can be born: yourself.
