The Swing (Singable Poem by RLS) a New Illustration by Julie Morstad
Posted on: February 19, 2013
An exciting find at the bookstore today!
Though I’ve enjoyed singing this poem from compilations of Children’s Poetry, this is the first edition of the song I’ve ever found in its own book…and wonderful pictures they are, too.
