The Book of the Little Past

** "The Book of the Little Past" by Josephine Preston Peabody is a collection of children's poems that captures the simple joys and wonders of being a kid. It focuses on what it's like to see the world through the eyes of a child, using vivid and playful language to bring the ordinary into the extraordinary. The poems talk about making houses in the sky from smoke, thinking about love, and dealing with what it means to grow up. The book is full of images that help you remember the fun days of childhood, with each poem offering a look into a kid's thoughts and feelings, turning regular things like pigeons and storms into something special. **
