April is National Poetry Month, a month-long celebration of poetry throughout the United States! This event was founded by the Academy of American Poets in 1996 in order to wide the attention of individuals and the media to poetry: the art of it, our poetic heritage, poetry books, living poets, and more. <\/p>\n
I thought it would be fun to list some poetry books that you might check out of the library or purchase to read with your kids during this month. I haven\u2019t read all of the ones I am linking below, but I thought I would gather a list to get us started:<\/p>\n
