China
When my mom is in China
she sounds like a little girl
and she smells like mango.
When the wind blows,
her hair flies into her eyes.
Heat
When I was in China it was very hot.
I did not have a fan.
I wore a white t-shirt and
the color camouflaged me against the wall.
I climbed up onto a tall chair
to open the window.
Television
The mailman knocked on the door.
My uncle was busy cooking
and he told me to open it.
I did not listen to him
because I was watching TV.
My uncle got mad.
He used a silver hammer to hit the television,
and the screen shattered.
Steps to Making a Snowman
First I roll a giant snowball.
I roll the ball again to make it bigger.
I roll another ball to make the body.
Then I poke two sticks into the body to make the arms. I carve a hole for the mouth.
I get stones and push them into the man’s face.
These stones are the eyes.
About the Author
Hi, my name is Anna. I’m eight years old. I live in San Francisco with my mom and dad and grandma. I like to cook with my mom. I am good at painting and when I grow up I want to be a famous painter. I also want to be a chef. If I were a plant I would be a rose because roses are pretty. My favorite book is Todd & Ben. The author is my classmate Tai! If I had a super power I would make it snow all over the world. My family comes from Taiwan and I went there before. I speak Chinese at home. The scariest thing to me is darkness. China and Other Poems is my first published book.
