Silence Sounds Simple by Gary Golio
Rate this book

This is such a beautiful book! Every page explores sound, musicology and the power of silence found in everything from the faucet dripping to the experience of mushroom picking. Poetic and gorgeously illustrated.

Wake Up, Freight Train!
by Danna Smith (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is a must for parents and librarians! Introduce the littlest ones to all the cars of the freight train and share the snoozies with sleepy animals. Very sing-song-y and rhythmic text. Great for learning first words and verbal patterning.

“I write lots of poetry on a regular basis. In fact, it’s something that I rarely think about consciously, it’s just something I do. Actually I may even say, it’s not something I do so much as what happens. Poetry chooses me!”
