Eastern Penn Points Blog

I'm happy to participate in my local EPASCBWI's Penn Points blog today. They are celebrating Earth Day's 50-year anniversary this month.

“The Hiding Place”
By Jennifer Raudenbush
 
Cloistered within my secret room of leaves
the children come:
            to soak up sacred space
            to touch the holy
            to be.
 
They perch on gnarled branches
            eyes opened
            eyes closed
sharing secrets.
 
Desires and hopes
            FLOAT
nesting in my leaves;
 
the only sound the swishing of the breeze,
murmurs of a thousand whispered prayers.
 
When not writing picture books, middle grade, and poetry, I’m likely reading, spending time in nature, or adventuring with family. I’m a member of SCBWI, 12 x12 Picture Book Challenge, and Inked Voices. My biggest vices are chocolate and cookies! I’d love to connect with more members of Eastern PA SCBWI.
