I think her book "Echoes for the Eye: Poems to Celebrate Patterns in Nature" is one of the finest poetry books ever written for children. I love her use of imagery and language in that book--and also in her book "Cold Stars and Fireflies." It's so sad that both of these books are now out of print.<BR/><BR/>You've done a wonderful job with your poetry postings during the month of April!Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.com
