Awesome for little kids, not teens.

Well, I dunno. I love Brown's previously published work as stand-alones. She does know how to connect even the littlest children with language and imagery. This collection is interesting for fans and completists, but not the treasure I'd hoped. Two gems, to share with you the justification for

picking it up:

Raindrops on the Willow Tree

The diamonds on the tree twigs
Are all the diamonds that I've got
So bright
So unexpected
So soon gone
And yet
Alive as rain
Alive as time
Shining like diamonds
Raindrops
They shine and glow
Brighter than snow
They shine
And they are mine.


A Little Black Dog

I had a little black dog
And the sun came out for him
And it shone on his curious little nose
And warmed him warm under his black fur
And he bounded through his sunlight
The sunlight that shone for him.
