A book of poetry, some rhyming, and some free form, this is written expressly for children but will delight adults, as well. The topics, illustrations, and words all speak to young souls and their many experiences with friends, school, and family. 

These poems are an absolute joy to read and think through. They are insightful and touching. Ms. Dakos has a gift of understanding and insight. Her poems are a wonderful way to expose young children to the power of poetry.
