We are so excited to announce that Pomelo Books is our very first Bronze Sponsor for MCCBd 2016!
Pomelo Books was founded in 2012 by Sylvia Vardell, Professor in the School of Library and Information Studies at Texas Woman’s University, and poet Janet Wong, author of 30 books for children.
Teachers and librarians were clamoring for a quick and easy way to teach poetry, prompting Vardell and Wong to create The Poetry Friday Anthology with its popular “Take 5” mini-lessons for each poem. Today, The Poetry Friday Anthology series features poems by a “Who’s Who” of children’s poetry—with Jack Prelutsky, J. Patrick Lewis, Nikki Grimes, Margarita Engle, Joyce Sidman, Alma Flor Ada, Marilyn Singer, Pat Mora, Joseph Bruchac, Linda Sue Park, and over 100 more—while the Take 5 method has transformed the way poetry is taught in thousands of K-8 classrooms throughout the world.
