Nell's Christmas card

Nell the Neanderthal made
her own Christmas card
With hammer and chisel
in granite so hard.
Pounding and painting
took quite a while
But it gave all of her friends
a laught and a smile.
This book is a card I got just for you
That will do just the same when you read it through.
I hope you will keep it for many a year
So it can give others the same Christmas cheer.
For a book that you read from beginning to end
Makes a wonderful gift and a very dear friend!

Byron von Rosenberg is author of the popular children's picture book, I Don't Want to Kiss a Llama! and of the wonderful “laugh and think” poem book, Thinking Upside Down. Byron began writing poetry in 2002 with a prayer for his father called “Look at My Hands” and continues to write daily. Born in Houston, Byron grew up in New Orleans. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tulsa (in Chemical Engineering!) and a Master's of Science in Human Services from Murray State University. Byron and his family live in Missouri. Their cat Star is responsible for inspecting all the Christmas boxes as they are brought up from the basement each Thanksgiving and for the care of the family's Christmas tree. From all reports, she continues to take that job very seriously.
