About This Book

A collection of short, illustrated verses that portray infants and toddlers in familiar domestic scenes—play, naps, mealtimes, mischief, outings, and simple fantasies. Each poem uses rhythmic, child-friendly language to celebrate sensory details, family relationships, and small adventures, often observing twins, siblings, neighborhood babies, and everyday mishaps like jam on the face or rainy-day confinement. The volume reads like a series of affectionate snapshots aimed at entertaining and soothing young readers and caregivers.

Don’t Cry.

Don’t cry, p’ease don’t cry,

Mama’ll soon be here—

Did ’oo fall and bump ’oo head?

Don’t cry, Arty dear.

Don’t cry, never mind,

Quick as ’oo can tell

Mama’ll come and kiss the place,

That will make it well.

Don’t cry, it’s too bad—

I so sorry too,

If I kiss ’oo five, two times,

Maybe that will do.

Don’t cry, Arty dear,

’Oo s’all have my ball,

’Oo s’all have my picture book,

Or anysing at all.
