In My Nursery
A tender portrait of childhood captured in verse, In My Nursery welcomes readers into a world of laughter, mess, and quiet wonder. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, who made history as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, turns her gaze on the small ones who fill a home with chaos and joy: Rosy Alice flits through these pages, Sturdy Hal takes his first tumbles, and shy little Julia hides behind her mother's skirt. The poems contemplate babyhood and its fragile promise, what will this small creature become? They linger on the music of a mother's voice, the particular magic of the nursery, and the bittersweet awareness that children grow. This is not a book that condescends to its young audience; instead, it honors the actual texture of childhood, its noise and its stillness, its questions and its games. Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or for adults who find themselves missing the world they once inhabited.
