In this 1st book of the Poetry Pals series, Edwin and his son share a diverse collection of whimsical and thought-provoking poems to educate and inspire.
Micah is an elementary school student and Edwin too often finds himself acting like one. What started out as a rhyming book to educate kids about the human body, has evolved into a collection of poems about the mind, body and soul that will make families laugh and enjoy together!
When Micah says something imaginative, funny, or sweet, in a way that only children can, Edwin makes note of the special moment. These captured moments, in addition to Edwin's observations in daily life as a dad, are the inspiration for the poems in this book.
For young children, there are playful poems with vivid illustrations that will make you laugh together and inspire a creative imagination.
- What happens if you eat a jumping cow?
- Have you ever seen a four-legged duck?
- Have you seen the slap-a-doodle?
For older children, there are educational poems which encourage sharing, exploration, and self-confidence.
- What question do you want to ask the question machine?
- When you grow up, how many things can you become?
- What new inventions will you create?
For adults, there are inspirational poems for reading and discussing with the little ones.
- When flowers talk, what do they say?
- Is the grass really greener on the other side?
- How do I say goodnight child?
Edwin and Micah hope this book series inspires children to create, share, play, imagine and dream.
