Will something happen to lift her spirits, or will this be one of the saddest Christmas stories you ever read? “Nana Posy and the Christmas Concert” deals honestly but gently with the challenges faced by everyone around the world because of the pandemic. Nana Posy’s style of talking to children, (“I’m sorry to tell you something sad, but I always want to be honest with you.”) will help kids navigate this time and understand that life can work in mysterious ways to bring joy even during the most difficult times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6292fd2478163ccd03552c/1632520725625-0ZG00ZY71M3F596JX2IZ/0.jpg Books - Nana Posy and Quail Pie Nana Posy Series # 2 Some pesky quail have been digging in the flower pots in Nana Posy’s backyard.

She likes the wildlife in her Arizona garden to behave a certain way, and when they don’t, she gets fired up. In the first book of the series, spring is here, and Nana Posy is looking for a project. What happens when her grand scheme doesn’t work out exactly the way she planned? The Nana Posy Series are picture books for “kids” of any age. They are illustrated by the author’s son, Tyson Myers, and are best when read with pizzazz! https://www.lindarittenhouse.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://www.lindarittenhouse.com/poetry-for-kids daily 0.75 2022-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6292fd2478163ccd03552c/1624481704005-IDT9CXZ1991IP3PX1TSD/Nana+Posy-logo-black.png Poetry for Kids - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6292fd2478163ccd03552c/1604964222811-CL8J0OSNNT7XLYZ3W7Y9/Linda_Rittenhouse_Oct2020-9075.jpg Poetry for Kids - ¡Hola, Niños!
