RAR #15 Poetry Read-Alouds for Parents Who Are Intimidated by Poetry

Common Problems
bySarah Mackenzie

Caroline Starr Rose has written entire books in verse. Now don’t be intimidated. Her book, May B, has been described as part Hatchet, part Little House on the Prairie, and part Out of the Dust.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • her books, of course!
  • how to get started with poetry even if it’s as intimidating to you as it is to me
  • her booklist (a-mazing!) I can’t believe how many of Caroline’s favorite books I hadn’t heard of before
