A charmer of a book\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grote\u2019s latest picture book, a gorgeous anthology of poems, is a delightful reminder of the enchantment and joys of childhood and rural living. Written from a young child\u2019s perspective, the poems in the collection are both sweet and charming. The lush, child-friendly prose beautifully evokes the spirit of childhood, the outdoors, and a rural lifestyle (\u201cthe ice truck once came every day\/ With blocks of ice stacked high\/ And every day my mom put out\/ Which size she\u2019d like to buy\u201d), and the timeless message\u2014that profound magic exists in everyday moments\u2014is told in simple words. Marcia Wheelan Coles\u2019 dynamic, vivid illustrations portray stunning landscape details; kids will have fun poring over vivid imagery depicting activities related to farming and rustic living. Packed with rich, lush descriptions and perfectly rhymed poems, the collection effortlessly captures the essence of living in the countryside. Refreshing, beautiful, meaningful, and imaginative; a must-have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
