The Secret Place (Pickled Poem Ep. 29)

"The Secret Place" by Tomie de Paola It was my secret place down at the foot of my bed under the covers. It was very white. I went there with a book, a flashlight, and the special pencil that my grandfather gave me. To read-- and to draw pictures on all that white. It was my secret place for about a week-- Until my Mother came to change the sheets.   Hi, I’m Grace, and this is the Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Poems Podcast.
