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.

Congrats, Elaine!
Your Wild Rose is wildly popular!!!
May you continue to bloom with poetry!
Thanks, Charles! Like you, I hope to inspire an appreciation of children's poetry in people who read my blog.
BTW, I especially liked the last two lines of the poem that you wrote in honor of Lee Bennett Hopkins for DEAR ONE.
Wonderful! Congratulations, Elaine!
Thanks, Julie!
