Welcome Friends! Here is a place for teachers, parents, librarians and writers to learn what's going on in the world of book author Karma Wilson.
She’s almost here! My newest character will be in bookstores on 9/23/09! I can’t wait.
I just adore this new series (illustrated by the talented Jane Chapman) and I hope you all will love Little Pip as much as I do!
Hip, hip hooray for adorable, baby penguins! And pssst…she just might have her own special spot on the world wide web!

You all know I write rhyming books. I am a huge advocate of reading rhyme to kids–but remember read it until the child has it memorized. The great power in rhyme for kids is that good rhyme is easily committed to memory. Once a child remembers a rhyme every word in the poem or story is locked in their mind forever in context–which is what makes rhyme such a great vocabulary builder. But if you just read a rhyming story one or two times chances are it won’t work it’s way into the old brain cells permanently. So read, read, read the story over and over again. And again. And yes, again. 
Eventually your child will be able to read the story to you.
Really, you’ll thank me someday! Hee hee.

I am a seasons kind of girl. I love all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. I’m so excited to see leaves change, smell pumpkin pie, taste apple cider, and feel a crisp autumn wind. Here’s one of my fall photos from last year!

Hi all! Just a quick update–the current giveaway is open until this Friday. I’ve gotten tons of entries, so keep em coming.
As of right now I’m working on my newest poetry collection. I can’t believe what a challenge it is to write 120 poems! But what a fun challenge.
That brings me to a question–what poem subjects do you think need attention to? I’d love to hear your ideas. Remember, think Shel Silverstien (my poet hero).
Looking forward to your entries and ideas!
