YAY you! YAY us!<br /><br />I love all the books you mentioned (great new cover for Home of the Brave), and I got to hear Helen Frost speak at All Write -- swoon!! I would add The Crossover as a good Novel in Verse for boys too cool for such things -- it has a sports theme and some of the poems are rap (rap-ish).Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-7881650802262130212014-06-21T07:51:00.836-04:002014-06-21T07:51:00.836-04:00Welcome!

My students read May B and we had a fun Skype visit with Carolyn Starr Rose. The only one on your list I haven't read is Home of the Brave. I'll have to look for that one.<br />And, oh, yes, welcome to Poetry Friday! I think you will love it as much as I do. I hope you will get brave enough to post your own work. The feedback and support is priceless.

I love all these books, and your enthusiasm for the form. The cover to Home of the Brave is new to me, and I love it, and your idea to pair it with Ivan. Sharon Creech -- I've yet to meet the student who isn't inspired by this or Hate that Cat. For teens, I love Stephanie Hemphill, Kimberly Marcus, Sonya Sones, and ever and always Karen Hesse.
