One day, my dad trained a crow to talk and named him Sam. Unfortunately, my dad didn’t teach Sam when to quit talking. Sam was a curious creature and picked up everything--including bad words

Mrs. Cow is very thrilled!
A box is in her mail.
It's from the place she ordered
Lots of socks that were on sale!

The Sun needs to rise, but the Rooster's in bed.
The Cow must be milked.
The Chicks must be fed.
Will the burned-out Rooster wake up?

When I develop a character for a picture book, I begin with a realistic pencil drawing, and I gradually simplify that drawing and make it more child-friendly & fun.

@mccarthylit @marchsoloway Are you saying that we should begin tweeting these things tonight, on the eve of @DVpit_ or should we wait until tomorrow. What time tomorrow?
One day, my dad trained a crow to talk and named him Sam. Unfortunately, mydad didn’t teach Sam when to quit talking. Sam learned to repeat everything he heard. His most famous words were “Stop It! Sam!”

In My Garden, Pinks
by Jacki Kellum
As winter’s darkness sinks,
And sunshine yawns and winks,
My back yard drinks and blinks,
And in my garden, pinks.

Catching lightning bugs beneath haloed street lamps, most of my childhood was spun with shimmering shards of light. Much of my childhood seemed like a Fourth-of-July picnic, and fragments of cold and juicy red watermelon-stars streamed across my sky—or did I simply wish? #DVPit
