We have been Grimes fans since she introduced us to the golden shovel poetry form in The Watcher. This book is also entirely in verse, the tanka form. Tanka meaning “short poem” in Japanese. Each poem in the story is made up of 1 or 2 five-line stanzas and contributes to the story of Garvey. The book is moving and powerful.I took pictures of our favorite lines. I ended up with so many that I decided to just buy the book before we even finished reading it! Here are a few of our favorite lines:“All evening long, Itry tucking in my sadness,but it keeps gettingsnagged on my voice when I speak...”“Do friends make the best mirrors?”“...Now ‘fat boy’ insultsglide right off me like raindrops.I dance in the pool they make.”This is a beautiful book with a beautiful message. I am always a sucker for a happy ending! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Song for Garvey *by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017* Nikki Grimes tells Garvey’s story in Tanka, an ancient poetry form from Japan. Tanka translates as “short song”. Images flow in an expanding stream, rounding out Garvey’s life. He’s a young boy, dancing alone by a slide until his first friend finds him and joins in his quiet moment. A skinny kid mocks him at school, and Garvey’s too lost in his own world to see the other boy’s pain. His father constantly drives him to become someone he’ll never be. The tempo rises as Garvey realizes he has gifts, if he can find the courage to move forward. Encouraged by friends who’ve faced their own demons, Garvey shows the world he can sing. That song transforms his life, and the lives of those who love him.--Kate Calina ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great middle grade read! *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020* I really enjoyed this novel in verse by Nikki Grimes. Garvey longs for approval from his father. He doesn’t like sports and would rather be reading, playing chess, or hanging out with his friend Joe. He deals with ridicule from his peers for his size. When he joins chorus, his world begins to change. He makes another friend, begins to have faith in himself, and finally makes the connection with his dad that he had been longing for.This is a very quick read with a wonderful, positive message. So many kids struggle with self-image, and I love how Garvey finally begins to accept himself as he is. I also love the style of the book, written in Tanka poetry. Perfect for grades 4 and up. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47169102-garveys-choice](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47169102-garveys-choice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
