Feeling Mad Sad Bad Glad

Q: How did you get the idea for FEELING MAD, FEELING SAD, FEELING BAD, FEELING GLAD?

A: Everybody has these feelings. In my school visits, I encourage children to write about their feelings. I read them one of my short poems from my book. Hope Wurmfeld’s beautiful photographs add just the right mood.      

I sit alone in the early morning

And watch the waves wash the sand.

The sun comes up.

I throw my arms around the sun.

My arms just fit the sun’s circle.

But the sea is too big to hug.
