Hi everyone,

Part Two will be posted tomorrow and feature words from SYLVIA VARDELL’S introduction to the book. Here’s today’s link. https://kathytemean.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/book-giveaway-40-poems-for-40-weeks-by-david-l-harrison-and-timothy-v-rasinski/ You can register to receive a free copy of the book. Find out how.

40 Poems for 40 Weeks was inspired by ANGELA KNIGHT, the librarian at David Harrison Elementary School in Springfield, Missouri. When Dr. Knight told me she reads a poem every week to all the kids at Harrison, I asked Tim Rasinski to join me in creating this book of 40 poems by 40 outstanding poets to make it easy for librarians everywhere to read a poem a week to their own students. Of course teachers, family, and other caring adults are encouraged to put our book to use too. The more the merrier!
