Paula's Pocketful of Poems is an inspiring children's story about Paula, a very quiet girl with a heart full of thoughts, feelings, and beautiful words. Although she finds it difficult to speak in front of others, Paula discovers that she can express herself through poetry. With encouragement from her teacher, family, and classmates, she slowly gains the courage to share her writing. Paula learns that a voice does not have to be loud to be powerful-and that her words can encourage others to find their voices, too.
