These poems and pictures are for all the unique children in the world, all those quirky little habits and mannerisms we have, that make us special and who we are. You may see yourself as really angry some days like Tough-Kitty Witty and want to take out your claws, or maybe you are more like Dudley the Donkey and don't always tell the truth, or maybe you are a mix.What really matters is that we try to understand one another, that we take the time and make the effort to teach and learn from one another. With compassion and understanding, there is hope--that we can form new friendships and make a kinder world to live in. That is my dream, anyway. L.S.

"When you give love, you get back love." That's the lesson taught by Abuelita's own abuelita. ("Abuelita" is Spanish for "Grandma.")

But why would she want a shriveled-up tree that gives nothing but wrinkled, sour fruit? Spring brings a surprise to the neighborhood kids, to their parents, and even to grumpy, grouchy Mr. Diaz. Only Abuelita isn't surprised. She knew all along about the power of love.
