Connie Arnold

Set the washing machine on the spin cycle, throw in animal sounds and add animals. What do you get? “Animal Sound Mix U p.” Connie Arnold wrote a book to open a child’s imagination to the possibility of a world where owls howl like dogs and lions meow like kittens.

The rhyme intoxicates children with its effortless sing- song rhyme. The illustrations are crisp and eye catching. Kit Grady has out done herself. The animals are so life-like, the reader can almost hear the animals making their unique fans.

I met Connie Arnold when she was promoting her first book, "Beautiful Moments of Joy and Peace." Her poetry is traditional, soulful, and will touch a part of your heart.

To my surprise, "Abiding Hope & Love", her second book of poetry, is even better than her first. She covers areas like faith, the Bible, love, music and nature. Each poem is uplifting. It's like a shot of Vitamin B for the soul. I have a few favorites. You have no idea how hard it was to narrow down one for this review. It took me most of the week before I could narrow it down to three. I let my daughter decided which of those three.

A collection of fifty-two lyrical poems illustrating the small wonders we can enjoy everyday, if we just stop long enough to appreciate them. Whether her subject matter is the beauty of the seasons, or the wonder of a small child, or God’s love for us, Connie Arnold creates poems that speak truths to the heart and soul. This would be a wonderful book to have on your shelf for those moments when you need a little emotional boost, or when you just need some help finding a speck of calm in the chaos.… (meer)
