Here are some excerpts from the anthology "Love the Fall Wind" recently created by children at PS19 in Brooklyn, New York. These are from our chapter called "People," which includes some descriptions of the children's family members and friends, as well as portraits of people by famous artists. MY UNCLE My uncle is sweet as a flower. My uncle is as tall as a door. My uncle’s hair is as black as paper. He is more fun than any game. His smile is as shining as the sun in the sky. He loves my cousin and me more then a bird flying. He loves kids more than a wishing star. His stomach is as thick as a pencil. - Karina Vidal – 401
MY MOTHER My mother is sweet like an orange. Her beauty desires everyone. She has a heart for both her children and relatives. I wish I could see both her and her children living in a place where no one can bother us. I wish we could live in Florida. But unfortunately all those hopes and dreams died as she passed away. But one day I’ll go the same place she went. - Amanda Wilson – 401
