Happy National Poetry Month!
Anthology for young minds, bursting with fun & inspiring images! One of my poems is nestled between its pages. I tapped out rhythms with a pencil and chopstick on a tuna can until the poem's beat felt just right.

[Stefan Karlsson @stefkidlit]

A great resource for #NationalPoetryMonth, Hop to It is a #kidlit poetry anthology edited by @janetwongauthor & @SylviaVardell that inspires movement (and social movements!) with the rhythms of poetry. Here’s a poem I love from the book by @BobSchechter 💚
