One Today | Richard Blanco

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

One Today is a poem celebrating America. President Barack Obama invited Richard Blanco to write a poem to share at his second presidential inauguration. That poem is One Today, a lush and lyrical, patriotic commemoration of America from dawn to dusk and from coast to coast. Brought to life here by beloved, award-winning artist Dav Pilkey, One Today is a tribute to a nation where the extraordinary happens every single day.

This is a beautiful poem. It makes for a beautiful story. But it is very 2012. Some things are universal in the us, but certain things like the 20 empty desks and seats forever are very specific to US tragedies. Dave Pilkey does an excellent job illustrating, but this is an adult poem. I think kids will like it, but may have trouble grasping its meaning.

I did not recognize Dav Pilkey's hand in these gorgeous illustrations that accompany Barack Obama's inaugural poem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
