Beach season is finally here! First State Press’s newest book, Beach Fun: Poems of Surf and Sand, pairs my poetry with gorgeous photographs by Lisa Joy Goodman to capture the magic of a day at the seashore. The poetry is appropriate for children 4-12, but will appeal to beach lovers of all ages.

To support the book’s launch, Lisa and I are doing a series of book signings throughout June. If your travels take you near any of the places listed below, stop by and say “hi.” We’d love to see old friends at these events, even as we make new ones.
