(Click on image for a better view)

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved literature, especially poetry. "Once you can express yourself," she wrote, "You can tell the world what you want from it...all the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words." The poem, "Sea Joy," was written (and illustrated) by Jackie at age 10 and included in Caroline Kennedy's 2001 best-selling book, "The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis."
