A Book for Black-Eyed Susan (Tales of Young Americans)
Judy Young remembers showing her grandmother a poem she had written when she was about ten years old. Her grandmother encouraged her to keep writing, and Judy did! Judy is the author of several award-winning children's fiction, poetry and nonfiction books that are used extensively in elementary classrooms. One of Judy's most cherished honors was attending performances in which her book, R is for Rhyme, A Poetry Alphabet, was choreographed by the Tanner Creative Dance Program and Children's Dance Theatre at the University of Utah for their 58th Annual Performance. In addition to writing, Judy specializes in school visits and writing workshops for students nationwide and is a frequent speaker for professional educational organizations.
