Books with title Water Music: Poems for Children

In pond, river, and ocean, as a solid, liquid, or gas, water is everywhere. But what does it evoke? What emotions are brought forth when we hear the crash of surf, see the rush of a stream, or feel the tickle of soap bubbles on our skin? In thoughtful poems, renowned author Jane Yolen takes a fresh look at water in all its forms, using photographer Jason Stemple's breathtaking pictures as inspiration. Waterfalls, steams, lakes, ocean waves, even bath water take on new meaning as poet and photographer examine these liquid landscapes through careful words and a camera's lens.

I believe Jesus Christ, My Lord and Savior, put it in my heart to write these poems and have them published.“The Purring Kitty” poem is about our family cat, Zarlakit, even though she is a full-grown cat now. I have always had cats when I was growing up, but I never had a cat that purred all the time. Sometimes she purrs very loudly. God brought her into our life and we enjoy her company each and every day.I hope my young readers and their families will find these poems both enjoyable and inspirational.To God Be The Glory.
