Like the books that line the shelves of our libraries, our classrooms are filled with stories _¯ hysterical, humorous, joyful, tragic, silly, and courageous tales of real life.

I have written books of poetry about life in our elementary school classrooms and am invited to visit many schools. Even though I am the guest speaker, I love to sit in the audience, front row, center seat. If I didn't, I would miss stories worthy of Pulitzers and dramas that would fill a room with Oscars.

I invite you to share the everyday "dramas" of the classroom, inspired by my work as a teacher, and the wonderful children with whom I have been in contact. My favorite evaluations are poems by students and I have included two very special ones. Many of the children have asked me questions that I have placed on a special page. I invite you to visit there also.

Please browse the book section and sample the poems. And, I would love to hear from you, so please sign the guest book before leaving.
