A Couple More School-Themed Poetry Books…By Me

September 9, 2009 By Laura

I’ve been posting this week about school-themed poetry books I love, and I guess I would not be living up to my promotion commitment if I didn’t sneak in a mention of my own two books. I’ve shared poems from both before, so I’ll just link you to the places where you can find excerpts from the books, as well as info about how I came to write them.

     
Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School – My first trade book, this was inspired by my daughter, Maddie, and a dental adventure.

 
 
Do Buses Eat Kids? – One of a set of poetry collections I did for Capstone Press–and the hardest to write out of the ten I did!  
Tagged With: Capstone, do buses eat kids, Laura's books, poetry books, Stampede!

I'm also creating promo materials, working on two board book manuscripts, and doing some work for hire to pay off Christmas bills! And I'm enjoying the lovely, snowy Minnesota winter. <3
