What a Wonderful Thought
 
Written by Kallie George  
Illustrated by Yumi Sakamoto

      What a wonderful thought
If all the kids and grownups, too,
Whether shy or loud
Big, little, pink or blue
Never ever pondered
All the things they're not
And head to toes loved themselves—
What a beautiful thought.

 

Just My Door
 
Written by Kallie George  
Illustrated by Yumi Sakamoto

Just my door
Is painted so
A first impression
Let it go
Break my lock
Or find my key
Dare to peek
Inside me
Where hopes are stacked
Hatbox high
Sad thoughts hang
Like long blue ties
Shoes and socks
Dance together
A dust corner
Holds a feather
Take a chance
Open my door
Inside me
There's so much more.
