Since it won't be released until April, I ordered a copy of DIZZY, which has been on my list of books to buy.<BR/><BR/>Your wife's book sounds interesting.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-16100536784877948612008-01-30T11:58:00.000-05:002008-01-30T11:58:00.000-05:00Hi Elaine, thanks for the nice words about my work...Hi Elaine, thanks for the nice words about my work!<BR/><BR/>Great list of poetry books as well. I'd never seen the Steptoe title before.<BR/><BR/>My wife Selina Alko is finishing up illustrations for a book that tells the story of an older sibling in a bi-racial family wondering what his sibling-to-be will look like. The story told from the perspective of the older, brother uses poetic language and metaphor. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>SeanSean Quallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630200217666046351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-82647693225387652612008-01-29T11:50:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:50:00.000-05:00Jules,Thanks for your kind words.

I hope to compile a second list of poetry books for Black History Month.<BR/><BR/>I once heard Eloise Greenfield speak at a children's litertaure conference in Boston. I agree--HONEY, I LOVE is a fine book of poetry, a classic.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard Ashley Bryan read poetry? He is such an inspiring individual.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-13632558556098147852008-01-29T10:21:00.000-05:002008-01-29T10:21:00.000-05:00What a great resource list.

And seeing <I>Sing to the Sun</I> reminds me that I would like to do a library run of ALL Ashley Bryan's books. <BR/><BR/>I met Eloise Greenfield briefly once, and I got her to autograph a copy of <I>Honey, I Love</I> for Eisha. Man, that is a great anthology. <BR/><BR/>I've got a small stack of great, new picture book biographies about African-American musicians, sports figures, etc. that I want to do a post about, too. Thanks for this fab list. Every teacher and librarian in the country should know about your blog. <BR/><BR/>Jules, 7-ImpJules at 7-Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439756778611468303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-42797311004942718882008-01-29T09:05:00.000-05:002008-01-29T09:05:00.000-05:00Tricia,A few of these books may be out of print.

I do have Marilyn Nelson's book about George Washington Carver and love it. I'm going to add these to my shopping list and see what I can find!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350907653629775293noreply@blogger.com
