Pingback: Writing Territories: 34 Ideas to Push the Pen and Keep the Keys Clicking | Runner, Reader, & Rockin' Mom
I was lucky enough to hear Kwame Alexander speak at ILA in Boston last summer. Wow!
I would love, love, love to see him present. Who am I kidding? I’d love for him to visit our school!!!
So jealous that you have the third! Our state reading council just chose Booked as a finalist for a book award chosen by students. I was just emailing with Kwame yesterday – 🙂
My copy of The Playbook arrived on release date (thank you Amazon) and it is a beautiful book! The way it looks, the way it feels, the illustrations, the text. It’s so beautiful I *almost* didn’t want my readers to touch it. I think I need to purchase a second copy to keep as my “pretty” copy. And how jealous am I that you were emailing him! 😉
I am glad I am not the only one who wants a “pretty” copy of my favorite books!
What a role model he is!
He is indeed. He just radiates with happiness!
I love this post! Seven powerful words because I, too, love Kwame Alexander. I heard him speak a few years ago at a PCTELA conference in Harrisburg. He kept the audience riveted the entire time–took questions, told stories. He is a fantastic speaker as well as a fine writer.
His message is so strong! I obtain so much wisdom from his writings. And, I must be the only one who hasn’t seen him present!!!! Sigh!
Amen!
Thank you for the additions to my reading list. Thank goodness for Amazon!
Great post, Amy! I heard Kwame at PCTELA in Harrisburg and he was a fabulousspeaker! I need to catch up and read the two books that followed Crossover. Thanks for reminding me!
One of my – and my daughter’s… and my students’ – all-time favorites! I had a chance to meet him at our local bookstore when he stopped by for a reading and signing event. WHAT A GEM.
I, too, attended the PCTELA conference in Harrisburg where Kwame was a featured speaker, How inspiring.
You grabbed me at “seven word Sunday” Amy, and I love those words! I’m looking forward to seeing that Playbook!
I have only read the first book. Will add the other two to my growing list.
No more words needed.
Well said!
Well done! I’ve added to my reading list.
I have not heard of this author yet. Thanks for the tip..Both in books and in writing!
