Moments that Matter

Who can’t remember the delight of building a fort of cozy caverns with quilts and blankets on a cold wintry day as a child? The anticipation of a visit from the tooth fairy in the night still brings squeals of excitement from children today. For generations, children have imagined themselves flying high above their schoolyards while friends gaze up in amazement. This collection of more than fifty whimsical poems was written for children, though parents and even grandparents will enjoy reading side by side with them. They will discover together many shared experiences of childhood—and be inspired to turn more of these moments into memories! So many simple everyday happenings are all around and right in front of us. These can become moments that matter, to be recognized and appreciated—if we pause long enough in our busy lives to notice them.
