Spring Is Here!

April is National Poetry Month, 30 days of celebrating the joy, expressiveness, and pure delight of poetry. Learn more about the National Poetry Month, get to know some of our most well-loved children's poets in our video interview series, browse the many online resources listed here, and visit your local library or bookstore to discover wonderful new books and anthologies. It was initiated in 1966 by the Academy of American Poets, National Poetry Month is currently the largest world-wide literacy celebration!

Trees wear floral wreaths

and birds sing the welcoming

melody of spring.
