Yesterday I promised to share my next book with you.  Renee who is co-owner of For the Love of Books, LLC will be creating pictures to go along with it.  After Renee did a picture of my three little girls in a tree and then I heard them arguing I became inspired to write it.  I would love feedback on what you like about it and things that you think that could make it better.  This book is set to be released in January.

Three little sisters sitting in a tree

Y-E-L-L-I-N-G

First came the lies

Then came the names

Next came the petty threats of no more games

Katelyn punched my back

Becca squeezed my arm

H-I-T-T-I-N-G

She hit me first

I don’t like her

So went the arguing, then there was more

The third little sister

Joined in the fight

K-I-C-K-I-N-G

                She kicked them near

She kicked them far

She kicked them everywhere, even in the car

The mother saw this picture

And became very sad

She knew that her children were not that bad

She talked about peace

She talked about love

She talked about sisters that fit like a glove

She said they use nice words

Talk about feelings

I feel hurt

That makes me sad

These were the words that don’t make others feel too bad.

The three little sisters apologized

A-P-O-L-O-G-Y

That’s a big word

But feels real good

Their mother knew they could and they would

Now the sisters play nice

and get along

L-O-V-I-N-G

Sometimes they fight

But they don’t forget

To think about feelings without regret

 

The three little sisters hug each other

H-A-R-M-O-N-Y

Harmony is the song of getting along

Today it doesn’t have to be about who is right or wrong.
