Poetry Friday: Jumping for Joy (by me)

March 31, 2011 By Laura

 For the first April in several years, I’m not traveling doing school visits for 3/4 of the month! So you’d think I’d have some cool, special project for National Poetry Month here on my blog. I am embarrassed to say I do not. However, I do plan to highlight the wonderful offerings of other bloggers who are […]

Poetry Friday: Spread the Good News

June 11, 2010 By Laura

  Congratulations to Alice Schertle, whose wonderful Button Up! Wrinkled Rhymes was one of the winners in the K-3 category of the 2010 Paterson Prize for Books for Young People. I blogged about Button Up! here and it’s such a terrific poetry collection. And Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School, by me, was named […]

The Beehive Is Back in Style

March 9, 2010 By Laura

I found out yesterday through Google Alerts that my poetry book A Fuzzy-Fast Blur: Poems About Pets has been shortlisted for the 2011 Beehive Award (Utah’s Children’s Book Award).  Woohoo! Libraries will acquire as many books as they can (it’s a pretty dang long shortlist, with 10 poetry books alone!) and share them with kids, […]

Poetry Friday: Slobbery (by me)

February 26, 2010 By Laura
