the art of writing haiku for kids

My I Haiku You blog tour starts today! I'm so excited to announce that my first stop is the The Children's Book Review. My guest post is all about "The Art of Writing Haiku for Kids". Once I got over the nerves of writing it, I had so much fun and realized I had a lot to share about making books.

Please stay tuned all week for more blog stops and book giveaways! You can find I Haiku You at your local book shop or online sites like Amazon. It makes a perfect gift for that special someone or little one on Valentine's Day or any time of year.

Here's a great review that ran in yesterday's Cleveland Plain Dealer (my local paper):

Also, click here to view some photos from a Valentine Story Time I did with my friend Susan Reagan (check out her new book Tweet Hearts). We had a great turnout and I want to thank everyone that braved the snowflakes to come out and support us. It meant so much to be able to gather with family, friends and other book buds (at a flower shop, of course) to celebrate our love of books! I made my own haiku fortune cookies as party favors (with haiku from the book and stickers inside)!
