. . . is almost here. I’m hosting the third carnival here at Semicolon. Please send your entries in this week. I’ll be terribly embarrassed if no one submits a post, and the carnival is a bust. You may submit any post related to children’s literature; however, since April is National Poetry Month, the theme for the carnival is children’s poetry, developing an appreciation for poetry, enjoying poetry with children—you get the idea. Think Poetically.
Since I’m a rather prosaic sort of person, here are the prosaic details:
Email all submissions to me at sherryDOTearlyATgmailDOTcom by 6 PM, Saturday, April 1st. You should include the URL of your post, the title of the post, the URL of your blog, and a short description or teaser telling about the post you’ve submitted. Please include the words “third carnival of children’s literature” in the subject line of your email. Everyone is invited, so get those posts in now and beat the deadline.
I should have the carnival posted by Monday morning, April 3rd.
Past Carnivals of Children’s Literature:
First Carnival of Children’s Literature at Here in the Bonnie Glen by Melissa Wiley, our initiator and fearless leader. Email Melissa if you’re interested in hosting the carnival in future months.
Second Carnival of Children’s Literature at Chicken Spaghetti by Susan.
Do you want us to review some children’s literature or poetry and send you a link to the post? Can you tell me a little more about it? 🙂
Any post that you have written or will write this week about anything having to do with children’s literature are eligible. Posts having to do with children’s poetry are preferred. Yes, email me a link and a description.
Sherry – just responding to your comment on my blog. Yes, I think Liberty! would be great for a high school class of homeschoolers. Even junior high, probably. We’ve only watched the first four parts so far, but I think there are six altogether.
If I write something, can I participate?
More information, please! 🙂
Ummm. What do you want to know?
Poetry, I think, is the best way into the deepest feelings. My favorite poets for children are X.J. Kennedy and Janet Wong. I started my own writing life as a poet but switched to novels and stories very early on–and now I find it’s hard to write poetry–to great to the heart of things.
