Today I am writing through the Open Write at http://www.ethicalela.com, where our host encouraged us to write Picture Book Poems.
My favorite picture book as a child was Tibor Gergely’s Great Big Book of Bedtime Stories, but the one story I loved more than any other was A Day in the Jungle by Janette Lowrey. My mother read it to me over and over, and I think back on this story about the fear that rises in a group and how so many of our fears mount unnecessarily.

No Fear
There was no monster
howling and shrieking with rage
~just a friendly owl.
