Reviews

[Susan Lundy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everytime I get sad I read the poem in which the new mom stands over the crib. I know this is long out of print, but even though, now in my 70's, I have started cleaning out my books (which is why I built a Little Free Library,) I will never give this slim volume up.

I know why she switched to Young Adult fiction.
