My Poetry Books

I've had poems published in magazines, testing materials, and in traveling exhibits, but I am so excited about finally having poetry books coming out!

First, Clarion Books will publish STAMPEDE! AND OTHER ANIMAL POEMS ABOUT SCHOOL. It will be a picture book for kindergartners through second graders. I'm almost finished with the revisions, and the editor is starting to think about illustrators. I'll post more information about this book as it becomes available.

Second, I'm writing a series of six poetry books for Capstone Press. This is their foray into poetry, and I'm having a lot of fun. These books are for kindergartners and first graders and will contain lots of snappy rhyming poems, including examples of several poetic forms. The books will be illustrated with striking photos, so I'm actually writing the poems to the pictures, rather than vice versa. It's a neat way to work! This set of six books will be published in spring of 2008. I'll share more info soon!
