Back to School with Poetry

School Poems on the ALSC blog

Hi, teachers! Everybody’s back to school by now, right? I’ve been on an erratic blog schedule this summer, but now things will settle down. My daughter Maddie is settled in in Scotland, where she’ll spend the next 2-3 years doing social justice work. It is both hard and comforting to have the house quiet again during the day. I miss her achingly, but I’m getting back into my writing and blogging routines, which will be great! Poetry is a great way to start off your school year, and librarian Poetry Paige has a roundup of school poems at the ALSC blog right now. She’s sharing my poem “SuperReaders,” along with lots more poems, including ones by some of my favorite poets! Don’t miss it:>)

JANUARY NEWS

I loved the holidays! And I'm so glad they're over. A quiet, snowy January is just what I need. This month, I'm working on two board book manuscripts, and I'm making materials to go with my 3 spring 2023 books.

I'm also busy prepping for upcoming author visits and setting my goals and priorities for 2023. Wishing you a lovely start to your own new year!
