Left.

Right.

Write?

Wrong!

Sometimes words are so confusing; it's bemusing!

The Right Left Hand gives you a leg up on idioms and homonyms and other crazy words that mean more than one thing and sometimes two things at the same time!

Giggles and lightbulb moments are guaranteed as you stretch your imagination with these fun and silly poems.

What are you waiting for? Get on the stick and start reading The Right Left Hand!

A Note from the Author: I wrote these poems with the intention of reading them aloud with children. Idioms and homonyms can be a challenge for young readers and English learners, but the right voice inflection and visuals make these fun words easier to understand. I hope you enjoy many aha moments as you read this book with the children in your life.
