4 New Book Reviews for WAITING TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL AND OTHER POEMS!

Here are four new book reviews that were written last month after I visited the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School in Seneca Falls.


“A great book! Fun and engaging poetry for children.” Fourth grade teacher,  Michele Marconi, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

“This book [Waiting to See the Principal and Other Poems] really hits the hearts of the young and the ‘young hearted.’” Michael Pucino, teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School



“I love the poems in the book. Very kid-friendly.” Melissa Caswell, teacher, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School


“The poems were very kid-friendly, and the addition of the illustrations only adds to the poems. I like how many of the poems adds multiple perspectives in a very accurate way!” Kate Smithler, Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School

Costa Rica Calls for 101 SECRETS!


My first "review" of 1O1 SECRETS! A KNAPSACK OF INSPIRATION AND HOPE is in, and it comes from a friend who is a very independent thinker. She and her husband Ron retired to Costa Rica. They built a home and turned one of the large rooms in their home into a local library out of the goodness of their hearts. And this is what she wrote about 101 SECRETS!:


I just read your book and think it is very worthwhile and a book that needs to be read by every “tweenager.” We have sent it on to a couple of teacher friends. Do you see the possibility of a Spanish translation in your future? I would love to buy one for my library. This book could make the difference in so many children's lives!

Love, to you and Marilyn,
