Fern The Pachyderm

About the Book

This is a collection of nine rhyming poems that easily roll off the tongue. They teach adults and children alike that there is hope in the future no matter what circumstances are in the present. Characters such as Fern, Mundi and Kadoodle lead the reader into their worlds that are not so different from our own. They have adventures and disappointments but still learn from all that they have experienced.

Have fun learning about the life of a spider and the wild visions of a mother as she sits waiting for her daughter to improve in health.
