Book excerpt: These poems were written to celebrate the wonder and excitement children see in everyday moments. They are inspired by the way kids welcome the newness of each day with anticipation.Children seem to understand the rhythm of a day and they create their own songs to celebrate what comes their way. They do not evaluate whether their song is good enough or how it compares to others, but instead their music is a unique expression of their joy. Perhaps children can do this because they are much more interested in discovering rather than being discovered.Focusing on the event on hand, a child?s imagination can make ordinary sights extraordinary. Remember what it was like to watch raindrops roll down a window or snowflakes fall from the sky? Have you ever wanted to catch a star or jump over the moon? Did you ever wonder why grownups did such boring things instead of playing all day?I hope these poems bring a smile to your heart, a time of sharing and awakening of the child within you. So let?s put on our sneakers, get our bouncy ball ready, and make sure the kite string is in order. Make a map of all the puddle zones in the neighborhood and step out in anticipation and with the assurance that everything old can be new again.
