Reagan Blanche's birth was beckoned by spring! Great Aunt Brenda Kay Ledford has proclaimed "her worth" in this beautiful collection of poems, Reagan's Romps.
What child would not be fascinated by a book that is inspired by their precious life? One day little Reagan will grow up and reread these poems that are all about gratitude and grace, but for now, she loves the twisting turning road that goes over the mountains and through the woods to Grandma Bea's house or the Tick-tock! Tick-tock that brings Grandpa's cheerios.
Turn the pages for surprises of flying squirrels, funny animals, magical goblins. These poems paint the beauty of the weather, changing seasons, and the mysterious natural world that transports children far and deep into their imaginations.
Reagan's Romps is endearing and uplifting, where one finds joy inside of your favorite rain boots. Brenda Kay Ledford curates a lush, fertile landscape of verse and imagery that is sowing the seeds for the love of poetry and reading.
