If Dirt Could Talk: A Collection of Verses - Paperback

by Ronald L. Oliver (Author)

Ronald Oliver was first inspired to pen a collection of verses and illustrations while working on bullying prevention during the late eighties. In the second edition of If Dirt Could Talk, Oliver focuses his poetic presentation on animal stories with the hope of encouraging others to fondly recall childhood experiences and rekindle their love of nature. Oliver's poems reflect on many of nature's creatures such as coyotes, ants, and squirrels, as well as the surrounding landscape that holds diverse plant life such as cactus, trees, and tumbleweed. Included are Oliver's vivid illustrations created in watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, and colored pencil. If Dirt Could Talk shares a collection of poems and illustrations that expressively explore the world of nature and its creatures.
