If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
—Chinese proverb

NOTES ALONG THE ROAD OF A CHILDREN'S WRITER, POET & BOOK LOVER
Thanks for stopping in!
I write poetry and stories for kids, love playing with words, and listen for rhythm in everyday places. I often explore on foot, rarely turn down ice cream, and marvel at those who can remember a good joke and tell it seamlessly. I'm represented by Ronnie Ann Herman of the Herman Agency.My Pages

Yes, keeping open to the process and practice, and not giving up. Thanks, Laura, and happy holidays to you!
