Spring is a New Beginning

Spring is here in quiet, sweet ways.   Like the tiny violets that are along the stone wall, or the crowd of daffodils that line our front walk.  As Joan Walsh Anglund says "Then all the world is leafy-tipped and new."

A Friend is Someone Who Likes You

 Another sweet Joan Walsh Anglund book.   This one is about friendship.  I like how she says that a tree and a brook can be a different kind of friend!

Morning is a Little Child and A Little Book of Poems and Prayers

One of my best friends loves the art of Joan Walsh Anglund.  Her sweet-cheeked children's illustrations have graced greeting cards, books, plates, plaques, etc...

A Little Book of Poems and Prayers 1989

Joan Walsh Anglund

These two books are from our collection.

Morning is a Little Child features Anglund's original poems paired with her soft colored pictures.  I particularly like the Halloween one.

A Little Book of Poems and Prayers contains poetry and scripture and prayers short and sweet enough to read a little every day.  

 (I always love children pictured from around the world.) 

Cowboy's Secret Life

Every little boy (and girl!) should see such magical adventures even during the most ordinary of days.
