Life is all about the small joys and sorrows, the little successes and goof-ups, the people that surround us, and the everyday moments. 24 by 12 is a celebration of these simple snapshots of life. A shopaholic mom, the monster in the kitchen, a stranger at the bus stop, two lovebirds separated forever—meet all of them and many more in this collection of 24 poems that poses the funny with the poignant, the silly with the serious and the mundane with the impossible. Ride the carousel with a 12-year-old and see the world through her eyes.
