- I worked as an elementary school teacher for more than three decades and as a school librarian for three years. I also taught a children's literature course at Boston University from 2002-2008. I served on the advisory board of the Keene State College Children’s Literature Festival from 2006-2008 and as a member of the NCTE Poetry Committee from 2009-2012. "Things to Do," my first children's book, won the 2018 Margaret Wise Brown Prize in Children's Literature and a 2018 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Award.

What fun, Elaine! I've been meaning to try one of these for myself. It's kind of a unique take on a found poem.
Bridget,
It's a lot like writing a cento or a found poem--and it was fun!
Love that! That would also be fun to do with my kindergartener.
Very fun!
Thanks for the reminder. I saw the post on Book Scoops about book spine poems. We must try this sometime soon.
this is fun,... nice post keep blogging...
