Tales of Wonder Keepers (eBook)

What's your earliest memory? Did it ever happen?What's the weirdest thing grown-ups do?Do you believe in magic?What scares you the most?What makes you smile, sing and dance?What makes you, you?Tales of Wonder Keepers follows Hayley on her journey from childhood to early adolescence. With a voice both wise and witty, and sometimes emotional but always delightful, Hayley's poetry captures a scene from the daily life of a young child and presents an intriguing puzzle to solve as she navigates the twists and turns of growing up. Each poem is a complete canvas painted in lyrical words that is framed by her own thoughts, memories, experiences and feelings from a complex emotion, such as fear, courage, loss, friendship, family to some of the big questions a pre-teen would ask about body image, self-acceptance, environmental awareness, perseverance and strength. Presented in richly crafted thematic sections with whimsical illustrations, there's an immersive world to explore with each turn of the page. Somewhere along the way, you might find a memory jar that reminds you of the important things--things that should be remembered and celebrated. Tales of Wonder Keepers is a compelling journey that takes a reader through the myriad of ways to look at beauty, uncertainties and imperfections of the world through the lens of wonder. In its own way, each poem invites the reader not only to be a keen observer of this interconnected world in which we live in but also to be a keeper of the wonder that lives in us.
