Welcome to I Smile at the Sun!
If you grew up reading Dr. Seuss and love fun tongue-twisting rhymes, then you've come to the right place. Judith Barrett Lawson has written an amazing poem book that is not only just for kids but also "Misidentified Grown-ups."
Renowned Novelist Kaye Gibbons said, "This book is lovely, genuine, and true. It's is about grace, kindness, good humor, and goodwill, things we all need and deserve a few doses of these days."
"You don't have to be a preschooler to smile at "I Smile at the Sun," a perky and at times poignant (Collection) of rhymes, tongue-twisters and
Dr. Seuss-like poems for children and "Misidentified grown-ups." Between comic takes on childhood--trading ice cream, bathtub fears, bugs and Simon Says-- the poems by Judith Barrett Lawson offer wisdom on loss, old age and the importance of dreams."

own merit and they work in many different levels. I wanted to bring something to life that would touch children as well as adults.
This definitely does.
