How wonderful is this? April is national poetry month, and April 17th has been designated the first ever Poem in Your Pocket Day. Check out the website and see what you think! I've already found myself brainstorming about fun ways to celebrate...
That's great! Hmm, I'm going to have to think about what poem I want to carry around with me. There are so many possibilities...
Are you still looking for Lincoln-related books? I came across one this week that isn't exactly a biography, but it has several biographical details. It's called A. Lincoln and Me, and it's about a somewhat awkward boy who shares Lincoln's birthday and draws comfort from his similarities to the president, such as their long limbs, their unusual height and their love of reading. Nice story, and the pictures are great!
I know...so many poetic possibilities! And we've still got a week or more to think about it.
Whoever made April poetry month should be thanked profusely. It lightens up the fact that it's also tax deadline month, the most prosaic thing in the world.
Thanks for the Lincoln recommendation -- we're not reading about him now, but I'll put the book on my list for the next go-round (which might be next February!).
