Book excerpt: Today is the start of a good day. The light is shining, and there is a way. School is in a little while, and it is May. The sun is bright, and we like the light. The flowers, they look beautiful and bright. What a sunshiny day... Author and poet Cassie J. uses a series of poems to remind children about their happiest memories and the wonderful moments in their daily lives. Her poems, now collected in Rainbow Rhymes & Poetry for Children, emphasize the importance of happiness, self-esteem, and friendship. Cassie's poems are intended to remind children how special they truly are. Even simple images like a rainbow or a sun-filled day can show them life's true beauty and brilliance. Cassie encourages children to not only appreciate every day but also enjoy spending time with others. She presents a wide variety of games and activities kids can do by themselves or with friends. When children read Cassie's charming poems about kids skipping rope or reading a book, they will be inspired to do the same. Your child may discover the beauty of nature, find a new favorite activity, or even be inspired to write poetry just like Cassie!
