Sweet, organic children's book written in author's own hand launches new series of soothing, nature-based poetry for children ages two through seven Meem's Little World is also illustrated by Lori Rolie, wife of former lead singer of Santana and Journey
Innocence and wonder. Such terms define the idyllic childhood most people want for their beloved offspring, and they also accurately depict the new children's series Meem's Little World and its debut book of poetry by author and illustrator Lori Rolie. This hand-made, hand-written, and hand-illustrated collection of soothing poems for children ages two through seven focuses on the observations and delights readily visible through a child's eyes.
Take this excerpt:
I saw a mouse run up the wall!
I saw his tail and that was all
It could have been a big fat rat
But he was quick and that was that
I'll never know, I have a cat!
Like many parents frustrated by the fast pace of today's modern world and its trickledown effect on childhood, Lori Rolie wanted to write a book that was sensitive to a child's point of view. She comments, "When I read to my own children, it was the most special, bonding moment of the day. It inspired me to create stories, written just for children, completely on their level, as if another child had done it." Meem's Little World features poems written in Lori's own hand, giving them a truly organic feel, and accompanied by her soft pastel illustrations. Titles of individual poems include "Honeybee," "The Rainforest," "Inchworm," "Little Wren," and "Seeds."
Lori comments, "Meem's Little World is sweet and simple, and as the review from Media Darlings indicates, unlike anything you will find on a booksellers' shelves."
