Hi Kathi, I'm so glad to find a children's book author as well as poetry! I'm currently co-authoring a novel with a friend of 30 years, but my heart keeps tugging toward writing for kids. I really wanted to be a lyricist when I was young and that's because of my love for poetry!
Have a blessed wkend.
