Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.

Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon...
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere.
~ Margaret Wise Brown
The show that glows!
By day shines the sun;
by night, the moon;
in the mirror, the girl;
in granny's eyes, a smile.
But all day & all night,
every day & every night,
dreams and love twinkle in splendor.
— Granny
Once upon a time
When I was very small,
They gave me a marker
and they said that I should draw!
I took my favorite marker
in my chubby little hand;
I drew a circle and some lines
And I made a stick man...
It was a stick man,
And, boy, was I surprised!
It was a stick man
When that stick man came alive.
It was a stick man
And he was dancing on a page;
A stick man dancing
On his stick legs.
— from "The Show that Glows!"
