    About this ebook

    This book is written with children ages 10 and up in mind. The poems accompanying the illustrations were written specifically for that image. The illustrations are bright and entertaining. I have tried to incorporate a life lesson into many of the poems and still maintain a fun poem to read. All poems and illustrations are original. Many of the poems are reflective of my life and how I view the world.

    Donald Enz

    I was born in 1946 and raised in central Illinois. During my youth, I was lucky to be able to visit my parent's families each summer in two very small towns and had, in my opinion, free range over what I did. It was a great and unique experience that allowed my imagination to grow wild. I started to write and paint at a very early age and have been lucky to be able to continue my creativity my entire life. To do so has caused many difficulties at times, but I wouldn't trade a second of it. Being creative and being able to express myself in paintings, sculptures, and writing has made me a better person. I recommend creative freedom to everyone. I have a BS degree in English, an MA in sculpture, and an MFA in ceramics.
