Description

A remarkable collection that lets a nine‑year‑old’s imagination sing on the page, this volume offers poems that feel as fresh as a meadow after rain. The young voice moves from tender dedications to a mother, to bright observations of clouds, butterflies and the woods that linger beyond the New England town she calls home. Each piece is delivered with a simple sincerity that invites listeners to hear the wonder of a child seeing the world without the filters of adult convention.

The surrounding context of an artistic family—music, books and thoughtful walks—adds a quiet depth, allowing the verses to resonate with both innocence and subtle insight. Listeners will find themselves drawn into moments of playful surprise and gentle reflection, making this an ideal listening experience for anyone who treasures the pure, unguarded delight of early poetry.

About the author

Hilda Conkling

1910–1986

Best known as a child prodigy of poetry, this American writer began composing vivid, musical verses when she was very young, with her mother writing down the lines she spoke aloud. Her work still stands out for its freshness, imagination, and unusual origin story.
