Paula Groothuis

I am a speech therapist, living and working on Long Island. I am the mother of two grown children who are successful in their own right. Through the years I have found that rhyme was a most satisfying way to express my personal appreciation, thanks, birthday or anniversary wishes and I began to get hired to do the same for others.

I have written poems for people all over the United States and Canada, for people of all ages from birth announcements to retirements. My children's books are written to get messages and information out there. They are written in rhyme.

It Is Wise to Exercise


The purpose of each rhyming book done by me is to get different ideas out there for children to learn. This one exposes them to ways to keep in healthy shape by keeping busy, specifically regarding all the activities that keep us active, sports and various exercises. It includes many sports along with yoga, karate, taekwondo, cardio, pilates etc. It helps children to be aware of choices, to balance their lives and to help them decide what they would like to do.
