This week I recommend the poem Masks by Shel Silverstein. Shel Silverstein is one of my favorite children's literature author whom is best known for his drawings and quirky style that captives children and adults like. However, Silverstein did not think twice to dwell in mature themes like the one in the poem Masks. As you will read, the poem touches on acceptance and self-love. The characters in the poem search for blue unbeknownst they have what the other is searching for. A poem with a sad undertone, Masks leaves wondering why is it so difficult to be who we are and understand that happiness comes from within in order to pass it along to those in need.
