This week on Ages 3 and Up!, we continued our celebration of National Poetry Month with George Ella Lyon. George Ella has been writing poetry and stories for kids since the mid 80’s, and we were SO PLEASED to have her join us on our show! She sang her book/poem, Sleepsong (pictured above) and read a few of her other works. We played some poems by other authors, songs about trees- in honor of Arbor Day, and new music from The Verve Pipe and the Sugar Free Allstars.
