National Poetry Month will continue throughout April, and I know that many if not all of us who are part of the CCBC-Net community will continue reading, sharing and thinking about poetry throughout the year.


I want to thank both Lee Bennett Hopkins and Ruth Gordon for sharing their perspectives on creating anthologies of poetry for children and teens. It's been a wonderful discussion.

Our CCBC-Net discussion will be turning to the future of picture books for the remainder of April.
