Edie Batstone's first book of colourful picture poems invites us to jump into a child's world of wonder and possibility, just as a child jumps into a puddle - knowing only that it seems like a good idea at the time! Join her on this journey of discovery, one ripple at a time.
Excerpt
I dropped a pebble
In a puddle
In the middle
Of the street.
I watched the pebble
Make a circle
That ten circles
Came to meet.

How To Wash A Puddle
By Edie Batstone
This children's book of illustrated rhymes touches on modern themes many children could appreciate: the importance of helping others; why "wait training" is important; the difference between "picking on" somebody and "Picking" somebody; "time-outs" for inadvertently saying bad words and an alternative to those nasty words; and wondering if the computer is really the one in control of the gamer. ..... A portion of the proceeds of this book will be given to the clean water charity Ryan's Well. Orders may be placed on line at www.ediebatstone.ca
