It is an incredible honor that my first poetry book,
FOREST HAS A SONG, illustrated by
Robbin Gourley and published by
Clarion, has been selected by the
Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators as the
2014 Golden Kite Honor Book Award for Picture Book Text.
In celebration of this tremendous surprise and happy day, I would like to donate ten signed copies of FOREST HAS A SONG to a school or organization that will place the books into hands of children who might especially benefit from a literary celebration of the small - and immense - beauties of the world beyond our doorsteps. (You do not need to tell me who you will give the books to.)
Please simply leave a comment below if you have a thought in mind as to ten children who might like copies of FOREST. I will draw one name on Thursday evening and will announce the winner this Poetry Friday, March 7, 2014.
Thank you to SCBWI, to the judges, and to all of my good friends who read the poems you find here.
- Amy
