Inhaltsangabe

Kevin Adair's fondest memories are of sharing stories and poems with his parents and his grandmother. He remembers cuddling up around a favorite book, and having images flow through his head as the words were read. Some of Kevin's favorite poems were those of Mother Goose, Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein and the original poems written by his grandmother, Anna B. Adair. Kevin's grandmother was one of his heroes. She raised a family and was a prominent leader in her community. She also faced the adversities of sending her son to war and her daughter's untimely death. During her lifetime, the Wright Brothers first flew in 1903 and Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon. Through it all, Anna was always writing: poems, stories, plays, and a local history book that was used in the public schools of Homewood, Illinois for over 20 years. Kevin watched, listened, learned and followed her example. Now Kevin performs hundreds of shows every year as a juggler, magician, and storyteller. And, like his Grandma, he's been writing poems all the while. Kevin has assembled a wide array of poems by his grandmother and himself that span the ages from the 1930s to the new Millennium. Kevin and his Grandma have always looked to their families and the world around them for inspiration. Read along, and you just might be inspired as well!
