Today I’m going to take a jump in another direction: holiday poetry collections.

Today’s picture book poetry collection was another one I heard about last summer at the national SCBWI conference in LA.

Speaking of fantastic collage art, I have to show you a “new to me” poetry picture book collection today.

I know I have sung Marilyn Singer’s praises here quite a few times, but YOU GUYS!  This book!  THIS book is genius!

Speaking of brilliant colors, I can’t help but talk about today’s picture book poetry collection next.

Today’s poetry picture book collection brings together two acclaimed talents: Nikki Giovanni and Ashley Bryan.

It’s impossible to talk about diversity and children’s poetry picture books without talking about today’s collection of poems.
