Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell have done it again, creating another poetry anthology perfect for educators to use to grow readers who are excited about poetry. Great Morning! (Pomelo Books, 2018; hear a sample read here) is a wonderful selection of poems meant for school leaders to read during the morning announcements. I’m proud to have a poem in this one called, “On Your Way to School.”
And for loads of great poetry, don’t miss the Poetry Friday Roundup with poet-educator Catherine Flynn at Reading to the Core!
NOTE: We are moving on Monday, and although I will read every comment, I don’t know how much I’ll be able to reply to comments this week or next.
