About the Author

When Patricia Herber was growing up as the middle child in a family of eight children, her childhood memories included Mother Goose Rhymes, which were popular at that time, and she merrily jumped rope to chants that rhymed. Fast forward to the present day, and she is now the author of a rhyming poetry book for children.

She is extremely delighted to share her engaging collection of rhyming poems and amusing illustrations with children and adults alike. All of her poems were inspired by activities she did and topics she taught in her first-grade classroom over the years. These poems come from her heart, and she feels they need to be shared so that children everywhere can experience fun while learning how to read through the use of rhymes.

Girls and boys are in for a delightful educational reading adventure when they pick up her book, “Butterflies, Bears, and Other Poems for Children.” They will learn meaningful and interesting facts as they look at the colorful, cute, and funny illustrations. They will find out how the teddy bear got its name and how to remember the colors of a rainbow. They will learn what a “chrysalis” is and what happens when the groundhog sees its shadow. They will read about Johnny Appleseed, who was actually a real person who planted apple seeds all across America. They will discover the names of animal babies and read about T-Rex and other dinosaurs. They will learn about fire safety and dental health, become a friend with a fireman, color Easter eggs, and build their own snowy day friend. They will visit a farm and a circus, go to a Halloween party, and read about many other holidays. There are so many fun things to see and read about in her book.

She wrote her poems in rhyme because, sadly, she has noticed that over the years, Mother Goose Rhymes are no longer being read to young children as they once were, and some children have no idea what rhymes are. She firmly believes that the concept of rhyming is one important skill, among many, that can help a child to increase their vocabulary from one word to eight words, just like that. She wanted her book to be an alternative for children to watching TV and sitting in front of a computer screen playing games all day. Her poems will provide an excellent opportunity for quality bonding between parent or grandparent and child that is so vital in today’s society. Children are the winners here when they have access to her book.
