This is Just to Say
I have interviewed
a plum
of an
illustrator
and you
would probably
love
to get to know her better
Forgive me
for this lame poem
she is so Sweet
and deserves better
Here is my interview with Melissa Sweet, illustrator of A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams by Jen Bryant. This is the book I nominate for the Caldecott Award.
The round up today is at Two Writing Teachers.
Love this clever poem. And Melissa Sweet rocks!

Mary Lee,
ReplyDeleteI like your poem. I love Melissa Sweet's picture book art. I heard her speak several years ago at a children's literature conference in Maine. I even bought an original watercolor she did in an online auction (a fundraiser for the Humane Society) a couple of years ago. Sweet did the illustration for Conde Nast for a travel piece on Wales. It's a lovely little painting.
