Buckets of tears

According to Publishers Weekly, HarperCollins Children’s Books plans to publish Neil Gaiman's poem What You Need to Be Warm as a picture book featuring illustrations by 13 well-known children's artists. Gaiman wrote the poem after asking his Twitter followers, “What reminds you of warmth?”
"Sourcing material from the responses, Gaiman composed a poem in aid of the UNHCR’s 2019 winter appeal, which has now been transformed into a picture book. 'What You Need to Be Warm' explores flight from conflict by spotlighting the objects and memories that offer hope during trying times."I can usually take or leave Gaiman's stuff, but as the child of an immigrant I can't even skim the last few stanzas of that poem without tears sprouting out of my eyes like a sprinkler. The book will be released in the U.S. on Halloween.
