I'm going to use it in two poetry classes that I teach in the summer. Anna Grossnickle's other poetry books are beautiful too!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your lists of verse novels. It has been so helpful. I love verse! In fact I'm writing my own YA verse novel.<br />On your list of war & peace poetry books, you didn't mention Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy, which is an excellent verse novel about Roy's aunt surviving the ghetto in WWII.<br /><br />Your students trailers are great too! Tell them to keep up the great work!Gail Aldousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-20134674659818254522011-10-21T23:11:06.008-05:002011-10-21T23:11:06.008-05:00I hope I'd have a chance to hear you speak soo...I hope I'd have a chance to hear you speak soon. I love the theme about peace through picture books. Absolutely wonderful. And great bibliography as well. I shall definitely repost this. We'd be doing a Poetry-inspired theme over at GatheringBooks for November and December - your list here would definitely prove to be of great help to us as we scrounge around for books in the library.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-12241171003538910092011-10-21T10:32:21.488-05:002011-10-21T10:32:21.488-05:00Good luck on your presentation, Sylvia!

I enjoyed a workshop with Anna Grossnickle Hines at SCBWI-LA a few years ago and can't wait to get this new book.
