Christmas gift lists!

------------------------------------------------
Thought keeper
Bring me all your thoughts,
you thinkers.
Bring me all your brain storms,
that I can put them in a safe.
Only for you to see. -SD (Sugar Loaf Elementary School)

If you could have seen how many gift catalogs we lugged home from the post office this morning, you'd know that each year Christmas shopping begins earlier and earlier. Well, I have some gift suggestions that I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks. How about books? How about poetry?
Speaking of which, how about some books by Carole Boston Weatherford? She has just published a new book, Becoming Billie Holiday, but she has many others suitable for all ages. Here are some of them arranged on my bed. I will be posting more about Carole's books and other books by NC writers just waiting for you to add them to your Christmas gift list.
