Life is a bumpy road. It has highs, it has lows. It has adventures and challenges. Some things work out. Some things don't. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry. The bumps are just part of life.

Along the Bumpy Road shares practical life wisdom through poems to help all of us meet life's bumps with patience and grace, embrace who we are, learn from our world and make time for fun-to have great and amazing lives.

As part of the Let's Read Together book series, this poetry collection encourages reading time together away from technology. In these special read-together moments, and prompted by questions and characters in many of the poems, you have the space to dream, invent, share ideas, understand yourself and others, and develop stronger relationships.

To be read alone or aloud, to your kids, for yourself, as a family or in a classroom, Along the Bumpy Road has content for all ages.

May the rhymes entertain you, the characters inspire you, and the wisdom guide you.

Travel wisely and well along life's bumpy road.
