It means the world to me. One of the best things that has happened as a result of my efforts is that I have become a fan of haiku and senryu. I want to keep learning about these forms. Perhaps this love was dormant for a long time -- and then reawakened as I undertook this book project. And getting to know the extraordinary KidLit and poetry communities -- also a wonderful experience. My heartfelt thanks again to everyone!Amy Losakhttp://pennycandybooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-49909848984348826762018-03-31T23:03:17.299-05:002018-03-31T23:03:17.299-05:00Thanks, everybody!

Congratulations to you, Amy and thank you Sylvia for bringing this interview to us. I am with Liz, I can't wait to read it! I have always loved and written Haiku and done a lot of it with my students when I was teaching. I know this will be a treasure for your family, Amy, but I know that poetry-loving people of all ages will enjoy it. And yes, I can see why that is your favorite page, Sylvia! I wish we could get more poetry books into the hands of all families. That is a recent idea I am going to pursue. I look so forward to April and all the glory of poetry in the Kidlitosphere!<br />Thank you, both.<br />Janet Clare F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-96651205896123992018-03-31T10:22:32.399-05:002018-03-31T10:22:32.399-05:00I've had an advance peek at this one and it is...I've had an advance peek at this one and it is a winner!
