Poetry Friday

Poetry Friday is hosted today by Wee Words for Wee Ones.

In this season of family togetherness is seemed appropriate to share "Grandparent Poems" collected by John Micklos and illustrated by Layne Johnson.

Micklos' collection of twenty-two poems celebrate the special experiences and memories that grandparents, both past and present, bring to their families. You'll find many familiar poets here: Lee Bennett Hopkins, Nikki Grimes, Mary Ann Hoberman and more.

Johnson's detailed illustrations offer heart-warming portraits of families in a variety of settings.

REVIEW SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

As an author, I know how personal the writing experience is and I understand how much hard work and heart goes into the creation of a story. I am very selective when it comes to choosing books to appear on this site. I accept both fiction and nonfiction for children and adults. I do not charge for reviews.

I also post interviews and participate in Blog Tours for authors or books that I find particularly notable.

Before making an inquiry please look at books already reviewed here to get a feel for the types of books that appeal me. I'm not interested in erotica, horror, or books with gratuitous sex or violence. I do not post Kickstarter campaigns or other book funding requests.

To submit a book for review: email your query or press release to jsquiresbooks@ca.rr.com. Include the following information: Cover jpeg, Title, Author, ISBN, Publisher, publication date, number of pages, genre. a brief (about 100 words) summary, book awards or reviews, author bio (50 words or less), and contact information: email, website, blog.

Due to the volume of review requests that I receive, I only respond to inquiries that interest me. If you don't hear from me within 30 days, it is probably safe to assume I won't be in touch.
