A poetry collection of over 100 poems and drawings — silly, subversive, and deeply imaginative. From 'Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out' to 'Sick' to 'The Giving Tree' companion poems.
Why This Age
The wordplay, irony, and metaphor require the reading level and humor sophistication of a 6-8 year old. Many poems reward memorization.
How to Use
- Read one poem per day as a ritual
- Let your child pick their favorite to memorize and perform
