Students share poetry filled with family, sweet memories, neighborhood connections, and hope. Hear about the most amazing days of their lives, trips to Mexico and around their communities, and living like an animal in the rainforest.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “With a foreword by inaugural poet Richard Blanco, and introduction by volunteer and retired teacher Sandy Karolak, Rare Air / Aire raro is full of exceptional and charming poems on family, neighborhood, and memories. Poems were translated into Spanish by students, family members, and volunteers to allow for students to share their voices with their community. So join fourth-grade writers of Roberto Clemente Learning Academy in feeling the rare air in this beautiful book of bilingual poetry.”
