Smirks Benefit Artemis

A smirk here, a smirk there and pretty soon you have a pocket full of them. That's what you'll find in A.J. Wagner's new book of poems. A.J., illustrator Chris Knapp and publisher Raven Graphix are donating the profits from the sales of "A Pocket Full of Smirks" to Artemis.

You can order your copy right here for $12.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling - a total of $15.00. That's just pennies per smirk.

This is A.J.'s third book of children's poems. In the Foreword, he writes, "This book is printed with the purpose of raising money for the Children's Therapy Program at Artemis Center for Alternatives to Domestic Violence. Artemis provides a safe place for kids to express their feelings through play and art therapy to help them recover from the trauma and the loss they have experienced."

In his poems, A.J. takes a whimsical look at the world the way kids see it. Here's a sample:

Clean Up Hitter

Mother said I could learn from my cat
About how to keep myself clean.
Notice how Fluff cleans herself everyday.
That's why she has that nice sheen.

The next time I slid to home in the dirt
I decided to see how this goes.
I did pretty well with my arms and my legs
But I could not lick down to my toes.

So if you'd like to add a few smirks to your day - or the day of any child in your life - pick up a copy of "A Pocket Full of Smirks." You can order a copy by calling 937-461-5091 or by using our convenient, secure online shopping cart. Either way, you'll be helping Artemis Center help kids from all over the Miami Valley.
