She set out to write a poem for each child, sharing her love of poetry with them, and made an anthology of the poems for Valentine’s Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis original collection reflects the children’s joys and sorrows, worries and fears, moods and sense of humor. Some poems address common themes such as having a hard day at school, feeling shy or being a newcomer, while others explore subjects of fascination — bats, spiders, skeletons, octopuses, polka dots, racing cars and birthday parties. Evident throughout the book is a love of words and language and the idea that there are all kinds of poems and that they are for everyone — to read or write.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCindy Derby’s dreamy watercolor illustrations gently complement each poem.
