was a Supervisory Assistant at a local junior school for fifteen years, and enjoyed working with children. I have always been interested in writing poetry, which is why I have written my school memories in verse. I have illustrated the poems because children enjoy looking at pictures, and they bring the poems to life. Also included in my book are some of my own ideas for children to make and do . I hope that by reading these verses, children will be encouraged to write and illustrate their own poems and stories especially those in the 6 10 age group and that this book will help them to know ideas are not hard to find. The verses in this book thoughtfulness and kindness to other people and to animals.
