The Queen of Hearts
by Lynn McClarrin Vaupel
The Queen of Hearts is a love story written for children, letting them know what may occur to them later on in their lives as they grow into the unpredictable teens, becoming young adults.
The poet, Lynn McClarrin Vaupel, takes children through an adventure in their lives, with poems such as “The Bicycle Rider” and “Hard Hat,” which is a poem about which career hat is he or she going to wear as an adult. Other poems, such as “The Little Spider,” “My Kittens Have Claws,” and “Sugar’s Bedtime” are stories that dwell in fantasy versus real-life stories, where children have playmates who are real, live characters!
These poems reach out to children to give them different approaches to growing up.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lynn McClarrin Vaupel is presently a year-round tennis coach for the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation, working at two public elementary schools in Washington, D.C. One of her first jobs was with the Afro-American Newspaper as a scanner-typist and freelance writer. She started out as a switchboard operator.
Ms. McClarrin Vaupel earned her M.S. in public relations at American University and her B.A. in journalism at Howard University. She is married and now lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Her love of poetry and children came about as a special gift. She won an award from Gordon Junior High School, a little red book from the Daughters of the American Revolution, daring her to be strong physically, mentally, socially, and religiously. She was also a cheerleader and a member of the glee club. While at Western High School in Washington, D.C., she became secretary of the senior class, voted “most popular” and “most all-around,” and was also first soprano in the choir.
In 1973 Ms. McClarrin was an associate producer at WRC-TV at the NBC Studios in Washington, D.C. In 1987 Ms. Vaupel was interviewed and covered by the Washington Post, as she taught tennis to young children from the National Junior Tennis League.
