Giveaway: Beautiful Children’s Poetry Book

 It's National Poetry Month! Let's celebrate with a giveaway.

Author Erik Korhel has written a book of poetry capturing the fun, puzzling and poignant moments of youth in his book of poetry titled: "The Kid with the Red Juice Mustache and Other Nostalgic Companions". Told from the point of view of an elementary school-aged kid, these funny and sweet poems will touch everyone in the family.

Here's a little excerpt:

My First Wallet by Erik Korhel

"I have my very first wallet,

Ready for photos by the dozen.

Here's one photo, and should anyone ask who this is,

I will claim it's my girlfriend, though really it's my cousin."

Hee Hee!

 “Elementary school was the best time of my life and writing about my experiences gives me the opportunity to re-live it,” says Korhel.  “I write my poems for children, but I know adults relate to them. I see them smile and know they are remembering a feeling from long ago.”

You can read more about author Erik Korhel at Piecemeal Publishing.

The book's illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to the poetry. They are bright and beautiful and bring the poetry to life. To find out more about artist Celia Marie Baker click here.

    I follow via bloglovin. I know this may be silly, and not sure if this fictional character even counts as a poet, but Dr. Seuss is my fave.

    My favorite poet? It’s hard to say, but Edward Lear is pretty close for kid’s stuff.

    Any poet who can rhyme words by inventing words is a true poet in my book. I adore Dr. Seuss!
