Thanks, Rhonda. I'm happy to report that the Homewood Public Library, Homewood, Alabama recently presented a wonderful display of children's magazines in their gallery. They featured a variety of magazines in which my poems have appeared over the years in Cricket, Highlights, Ranger Rick, Ladybug, Spider, Babybug, Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, Scholastic Storyworks, U.S. Kids, Turtle, Children's Digest, Child Life, Lollipops, Children's Playmate, Guideposts for Kids, Highlights High Five, Hopscotch, Pockets, Poem Train, and Pre K Today. I presented a program in the morning for the kids in the children's department and an evening program for the entire community. Homewood Library is one of those magical places where kids, parents...and authors...love to hang out!
