Breathe, little one
by Christie BorelyA heartsong whispered... urging us to live and trust... a beginning with no end...Breathe, little one is a spoken lullaby for all our little ones - the ones in cribs and cots and in our own hearts. It invites both reader and listener into a meditation on the inherent value of life.
Through this prayerful poem, we imagine ourselves held, supported, caressed within a soft cocoon of love and worthiness._{Format: Paperback

Jesse Domenech (1985-2023) was a Cuban-American poet and songwriter from Queens, NY, who championed compassion and generosity, often through humor, on the page and in life. He was a student of Billy Collins’ Poetic Hydraulics workshop and drew inspiration from hip-hop, standup comedy, and life’s curiosities. Although Jesse was a prolific author, his work had never before been published. He was a beloved friend to many.
