February 1, 2018 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) Poet friend Kate Coombs sent me a copy of her new picture book, Breathe and Be (Sounds True, 2017). It came in the mail on a busy day (is there such a thing as an un-busy day?), and I was going to wait until the […]
