A perfect book for anyone who has ever loved a Yorkie. Twenty-three short verses on everything about the ardent affection, energy, and spunk these tiny furry bundles bring to our lives. The love and the loss is detailed in heartfelt verses that any Yorkie lover can easily relate to. Stephen details puppyhood, the fun they bring to our households and the sorrow when they are gone:From "Raw Pain", about loss: "Yet bound in this knot of endless despondence, is this essence of love a very odd cadence.A love of such pureness it frightens the soul.A love of such sweetness not many will hold.I wish you backto finish this dance. I wish your return and one more chance.To hold you closeto kiss your sweet face. To hold you closein this sacred space."From "My Girl And Me":"Snuggled up, my girl and me, every night, her place to be.Feeling her by metouching my side, my girl and me along for the ride.Returning each eveningto nestle with me,no place on earthshe would rather be."Eighty-two pages with graphics throughout in Victorian style, with an eye-catching gloss cover. Stephen Daingerfield Dunn is author of 12 other books on various topics, and winner of the prestigious Texas Author's Award for his book of poetry, "A Little Boy From Nowhere, Texas".
Ant Roy The Bug Boy tells the story of three close school friends who experience the torment and bewilderment of being bullied by a boy in their class and his best buddy. This somewhat nerdy group of friends decide to solve the mystery of the bully, why is he the way he is, why isn't he nicer and more friendly, even though they try so hard to get along with him?They discover that Bradley, the bully, has a little brother with multiple sclerosis. His parents have recently divorced, forcing Bradley, his mother and brother to move in with his grandparents. As the group finds out more about him, Bradley finally opens up and tells of his feelings of loneliness and unhappiness. The friends are compassionate, they know they can help him, and decide to open their group to include the bully and his buddy. Bradley is relieved and grateful to finally be understood, and all become friends.The class gives oral reports on subjects they know best; Roy's specialty is insects, especially ants, and Bradley's is nerve diseases, since he knows a lot about multiple sclerosis. These subjects that had brought Roy, the nerd, and Bradley the bully, so much ridicule and sensitivity before ultimately turn out to be strong subjects for oral reports, capturing the other students' and teacher's interest and acclaim.
Award-winning poet Stephen Daingerfield Dunn shows us Santa Fe through his eyes with humor, wit, and human insight. He combines his poetry with beautiful photographs of the natural beauty and majesty of one of North America's most ancient cities, taken by his friend Richard Bettinger.A wonderful journey for any armchair traveler, filled with colorful native imagery.
