I had the pleasure of working with Claudia Marie Lenart to edit her children’s poetry book, Seasons of Joy: Every Day is for Outdoor Play, which was published by Loving Healing Press in April 2017.
Her needle-felted wool paintings are incredibly detailed and depict children at play in all kinds of weather. Multi-cultural and joyous, these children become life-like characters that children will want to see and touch. Each poem calls to mind the carefree days of childhood. The games played and the imaginations running wild as the children romp and play with bunnies, birds, and in trees.
These pages are full of bright colors and fun games that kids can take with them into their own communities and neighborhoods. Not only do the poems show children enjoying the company of others who look different from themselves, but it also shows how much fun sharing can be.
Pick up a copy and share with your kids, grandkids, and others in the community. Get out there and play.
