My Thoughts Are Big, Big, Big

About the Book

L.C., Stuart, has established an extraordinary book of poems and nursery rhymes for children.  Many of the poems have been used in various classrooms statewide.

Wave Wave Wave Bye Bye, was created while L.C. was working with infants.  This poem was used to calm a child who consistently cried when his caregiver left the room.  One day for approximately one hour, L.C. sung Wave Wave Wave Bye Bye Bye to the tune of One little two little three little Indians.  To her surprise, the infant ceased crying.  Everyday from that day forward, between the hour of twelve and one o’clock she would sing Wave Wave Wave Bye Bye to calm the infant.  This later became a popular nursery rhyme used to calm all infants in the classroom.

Another popular nursery rhyme for children around the age of four is One Two Three ABC Jesus Loves Me.  The children would recite the poem with such excitement.  At the end of the poem the children were eager to shout loudly “JESUS LOVES ME OR WHERE WOULD I BE!”
