Poems and illustrations that a entertaining and also have life lessons for children. Most of the poems are based on my own experiences as a child and the people I have met in life. I have included several poems that are more fanciful and lighthearted. I have tried to wirte a book that will attract children's attention and keep them interested in the poem's story line. All of the poems are original and the ones attached to a specific painting were written with that painting in mind.
