 Poets Eileen Meyer, Michelle Schaub, and I make up the Rhyme Doctors. We blog about rhyme and rhythm in picture books and poetry collections, share terrific mentor texts, and offer consulting services to clients who want to polish their manuscripts.
On Jan 24th, we shared our expertise with our friends at the Children's Book Insider and Write4Kids. For nearly two hours we covered rhyme basics, rhyming fiction picture books, rhyming nonfiction, stand-alone poems, and poetry collections. What a full and fun evening! This workshop will be available as a recording from the Children's Book Insider. 
Hooray for this cute little taxi, zipping around to help people get to where they're going! I'm lit love with this darling cover, illustrated by Maria Karipidou. TAXI, GO! will be released this summer by Walker Children's Books (UK) and Candlewick Press (US). A friend came across this while poking around Facebook. What a fun surprise! This book is one I wrote as part of Pearson's Bug Club Shared Reading program.
