Children's Literature - Sheree Van Vreede

These poems center on the difficulties of growing up, especially those times when we just can't seem to help being miserable. From friendship to loneliness and love to depression, these lyrics don't try to solve any problems but simply try to put feelings on paper. The nonjudgmental and fair presentation of the situations portrayed by these poems makes them a great collection for pre-teen and teenagers.
