Pssst...reader!
I've got something to tell you.
I'm not just another book of poetry.
I'm full of voices you've never heard before.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a turtle, a snowflake, or a pile of dirty laundry?
All sorts of objects and animals speak up in these poems that are just shouting to be read.
So what are you waiting for? Check me out!
