Eloise Greenfield and the Horn Book's special “CSK Book Awards at 50” issue

If you subscribe to the Horn Book or have access to their May/June 2019 special “CSK Book Awards at 50” issue, be sure to take a look at the very stirring “Lift Every Voice: Inspirational experiences on the road to winning the CSK” section, written by 20 Coretta Scott King book award winners. We would particularly like to call your attention to Eloise Greenfield's “Words and Music,” where you'll learn how to play “Clap, Snap, Snap,” as well as meet a poet named Lillie Draper Taylor, who didn't have poems in books; a young high school student, who learned how to forget to be self-conscious; and a typist with a boring job, who loved words and music.

If you would like more information about Eloise Greenfield or any of her books, please contact Balkin Buddies.
