About this audiobook
Sometimes our feelings are so big, our dreams and our worries so wide, that we can’t find the words to express them.
How MUCH love we feel; what a new sibling will bring; exactly what it’s like to take a hard tumble, or to want the sun to shine on a rainy day.
These thoughts and questions are explored by Hans and Monique Hagen in poems pitched perfectly to the children who wonder.
