When you\u2019re a kid, some things are strange or icky, and some things make perfect sense\u2014although it\u2019s stuff that doesn\u2019t necessarily make any sense to grownups. Before you learned to \u2018color in the lines,\u2019 your artwork wandered all over the page, but it flowed naturally from the joy of colors and shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the way these poems flow. This little volume of rhymes is silly, and poignant, and colorful, and, above all, fun! The poems aren\u2019t supposed to make sense\u2014they definitely don\u2019t \u2018stay in the lines.\u2019 They\u2019re the wonder and noise and curiosity and feelings we had before we quit imagining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about childhood is you can make up your own reality. The box that the washing machine came in is not a box, it\u2019s a spaceship, or a Spanish galleon. A tricycle can be an airplane, and a kid can create whole cities or farms or towers with a sack of building blocks or even sticks they find in the back yard. In a child\u2019s world horses can fly, a tree can be your friend, and the pet cat can play the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This little book of rhymes attempts to look at and listen to the world through the limitless imagination of a child, where there is joy and bewilderment and song and delight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These books of children\u2019s poems were written by a remarkable dad (Wyn) who has been making people laugh for decades. The illustrator is his daughter, Kim, who enjoys art, creativity, and spending time with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A retired Presbyterian minister, Wyn Bryant is a voracious reader. He loves everything by P. G. Wodehouse, C.S. Lewis, Dick Francis, Tom Clancy, Shel Silverstein, and Gideon Grey. Grey only wrote one book, so Wyn has had to read it over and over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kim Barry lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she enjoys painting, writing, volunteering, and spending time with loved ones. Growing up, some of her fondest memories were listening to her dad read The Chronicles of Narnia and joining in his elaborate treasure hunts filled with corny jokes and adventure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
