Poems that Empower Children

Do you remember the joy of being caught in rainfall as a child? The breathtaking worlds of nature and fantasy that stories transported you to? Fears of darkness, of doctor visits or clowns? The confusion when grown-ups didn’t understand why you liked chocolate with cheese on your noodles? Or, why you learned differently from other children? The collection of poems and rhymes provides reading fun while validating children’s experiences. Farida Mirza, a psychology instructor, a schoolteacher, a mother, grandmother and a great grandmother writes to empower children. The poems help children build character, release the stresses of modern day lives and move towards their potential. “I See Things From Where I Am,” conveys that it is alright to have a different point of view. The poems are for children ages 4–12 years.
