As a child in England, Ann suffered with asthma and spent a lot of time in bed. The author and her family did not have television in those days, so reading her books and looking out of the window was how Ann passed her time. She wrote this poem for her mother and, when her mother dies, it was found in her effects. After reading the poem to a group of children and seeing how attentive they were, the author decided it should be an illustrated children’s book.

Many of the pages have an optional “Paint Me” feature for children to finger paint the pages and create their own custom version of the book.


Additional features: Professional voice over, table of contents control to navigate easily through the book and an audio on/off control.
