(I'm steeped in thoughts of America, because this time last year I was there, surely the highpoint of the last two years (and more?) of my life! So much joy. Just as well, because it has had to sustain me for sooooo long!!) <br /><br />Huge congratulations on the Cat Man's award. That is wonderful news! And you are so deserving of every accolade that comes your way. Thank-you for sharing these poems that are bursting with wordplay and the seeds of new ideas.KatApel - katswhiskers.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297639228969549518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-45910170595758874662020-11-17T15:53:03.587-06:002020-11-17T15:53:03.587-06:00Bridget mentioned my favorites!

Carole Boston Weatherford's movement poem and Karmelo C. Iribarren's Streetlight poem are especially delightful. Love the image of "plump pink buttons".

Irene, thanks ...I'll meet you there, Mary Lee! Irene, thanks for highlighting titles that have NOT come across my doorstep for NCTE reading--and of course the CLiPPA designation explains why. Did you know I taught in London for 5 years? And during that time I had Michael Rosen come to our school, when he was a little less Grandfather-of-British-Children's-Poetry. Your padlets are grand and I humbly suggest a 2021 ArtSpeak theme of HAIR.

Congratulation...I do love your Cat Man book, Irene. Congratulations for its honors. The two books will go on my list (I already have Hop To It) & wow, the word play by Zaro Wells is creative fun, "you'llbeum" predicts our burned forests & their re-birth for me. Thanks for every bit & happy weekend!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-54948131879360242702020-11-13T16:42:32.299-06:002020-11-13T16:42:32.299-06:00What a rich post, Irene!

I also loved the peeks at poems in other books and the "plump pink buttons" in yours. I can't wait to see what your theme will be for 2021! mbhmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368641525885104669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-78375170529248726052020-11-13T14:39:15.519-06:002020-11-13T14:39:15.519-06:00Congratulations on your Cat Man of Aleppo award, I...Congratulations on your Cat Man of Aleppo award, Irene!

What ...What a delight...poems for breakfast for me! What the Wind Blew In simply intrigues me. You're right. I need these books. I cannot help but think of students...in general and specifically when I read a new poem. It's almost like some people always have a joke for a kid...I am the person that thinks of a kid for a poem. <br />Alas, I will not be part of NCTE. I look forward to hearing about your presentation from friends.<br />I have SO enjoyed RED. You've given me ideas for my own new word for 2021. Thank you for not only lovely poems but the inspiration to write. Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.com
