I'm excited that Alyson Beecher, at Kid Lit Frenzy, is continuing her Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge for the fourth year in a row.
Thank you Margaret Simon for encouraging us to link up poetry this month using the hashtag #digipoetry. Also, thank you Leigh Anne Eck for creating a button for us to use.
It's been a while since I wrote a Nonfiction Wednesday post because of the SOLSC, but I'm back! I'll be combining the two memes today by responding to a few nonfiction picture books in haiku.
Bilby: Secrets of an Australian Marsupial by Edel Wignell, illustrated by Mark Jackson
Nocturnal, big-eared
Australian marsupial...
an Easter bunny?
Emmanuel's Dream: The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah by Laurie Ann Thompson, illustrated by Sean Qualls
In Ghana, biking,
born with a disfigured leg,
one person can change the world.
Draw What You See: The Life and Art of Benny Andrews by Kathleen Benson
Benny taught us that
art can be for everyone.
A people's painter.
