More information to come as we get rolling with promotion, but I do hope you will consider adding it to your home/school libraries. It would also make a great holiday gift! It will be available on Amazon for sure and I am working to get it into our local B&N and other indie bookstores in the area. Thanks for the support! Hi All,
Got some news today that "In the Right Lane", my children's poetry book originally scheduled to release in January is now releasing on December 1st, just in time for holiday shopping! Cover reveal and more information coming soon! Synopsis: Every kid should have a dream, a plan, a path, and a future. This Social Emotional Learning based collection of poetry is meant to inspire a new way of thinking to help kids find their path through poetry and help them navigate life on the road to happiness. Confidence building, managing emotions, and finding your place in the world are topics that are explored. These pieces also capture the pure joy of being a kid. Experiencing nature, feelings of love, and - of course - acceptance of self. This book is a guidepost for upper elementary and middle school-aged children on those topics. It is also important to have different types of poetry featured to give a variety of styles and wordplay. Therefore, you will find rhyming, non-rhyming, haiku, and acrostic offerings. Wooden Island
Alone on my wooden island, Surrounded by desks and uncomfortable chairs. Listening to our captain go on and on about subjects to plot. Look out to the room, Other kids engaging Other kids emerging Other kids evolving But I struggle to survive on my wooden island. It’s not a safe space, Sharks circle in the form of bullies. But then. . . Out of the blue, someone extends a lifeline. Our tables meet in the middle Working together, there is hope for survival, And my island suddenly became bigger and a little less lonely. |
