My friend loaned me this book as her favorite book from her childhood. While I didn’t get any nostalgia from reading this, as it was my first time, I went in with the mindset I’ve been going back to while reading all of my childhood books.

The poems are simple and pretty, and I think the illustrations are where it shines. My interest in it came from wanting to practice drawing. This book is my first tool used in that journey. I love the few spots where the author dabbles in some nuance, and I think this small anthology is a great model for basic writing and illustration work.
