Amazon Five Star Review for Singing Waters!

I am really touched by this 5 Star Customer Review for my Singing Waters haiku book by Cabbie on Amazon!

Cabbie

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent haiku!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022

If you want to read excellent haiku, I suggest "Singing Waters." Ms. Downing has captured the true spirit of haiku, nothing gimmicky and everything of substance and resonance. Where her poems leave off, this reader was able to discover the "aha" moment. She also included two haibun, one of my favorite forms of the haiku genre. Kudos to Ms. Downing. Her poems are lovely and this book is one I am happy to include in my library.

Jumpin' Jitters - The Official Single Release Coming on October 22!

Jumpin Jitters single cover lo res.png

I am all jittery over the official release of my “Jumpin’ Jitters” single from my upcoming Halloween album for children by the same title. The song will be released on all streaming and music platforms on and around Friday, October 22! Not only that, but this marks the official album cover reveal which I illustrated with craft foam. I love working with foam because it creates vivid, soft illustrations.

I hope you and the children enjoy this energetic, non-spooky, and interactive song before and during Halloween, sure to help them jump, wiggle, and rattle their bones.

Pop In - A New Program for a Quick School Visit!

Ask and receive! Over the course of my 33-year career, countless educators have asked that I just POP IN to their classrooms or libraries to read a book and sing a song for their students. Now, you can receive just that, a POP IN! I am jumping with excitement over this new easy-peasy program whereby I virtually visit your classroom, library or venue via Zoom in a quick 15 minute POP IN. During the visit, I read one book and sing one song followed by a Q&A. Educators can request the book and song to be performed in advance of the visit. Like popcorn (my favorite snack), this POP IN is irresistible! Click on the Book Now button to schedule this visit.

Quick Facts:

*15-minute virtual Zoom classroom visit

*One song and one book performed followed by a quick Q&A

*Request for the song and book performed in advance
