About this item

A joyful, poetic celebration of kindergarten and first gradePoet Kay Winters has written a book of zippy poems centering on the triumphs and trials of those first school years. This cheery collection covers an astonishing range of activities from the anticipated--dashing to the bus and science class discoveries--to the completely unexpected--losing a permission slip and seeing a teacher outside the classroom. Patrice Barton's sweetly smudgy watercolor illustrations show a wonderfully diverse class of young students, making this an ideal selection for every collection.



About the Author

Kay Winters

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you took the road less traveled by? This was a question I often asked myself. In 1992, I decided to head down a new highway. I left my lovely job in education and became a children's book author. Did I miss the children, teacher friends, Blue Cross and Blue Shield? You bet! But I wrote every day ( well almost) , collected reams of rejections, and kept sending out manuscripts In August of 94, the first contract call came. Now 22 books later the days flash by with writing, researching, revising, submitting, rejections (Yes, published authors still get them) , email, school visits, conference presentations, and book signings.My husband Earl encourages, edits, advises, takes pictures, helps with research , updates my website which he designed,and prints out maps to schools and bookstores.I love meeting my readers. And I look forward to hearing from you. Visit my website at wwwkaywinters.com
