R is for Rhyme: A Poetry Alphabet (Sleeping Bear Alphabets)
Judy Young remembers showing one of her first poems to her grandmother when she was about ten years old, and she has been in love with writing poems ever since.  Judy shares her knowledge and love of poetry by conducting writing workshops for K-12 students and educators.  She has also taught poetry writing at Drury University's pre-college program.  Judy serves on the board of the Missouri State Poetry Society as Youth Works Director, and, as such, was recognized in 2005 by the National Federation of State Poetry Societies with their first annual Award of Merit for Outstanding Youth Activities.  She is also the editor of the MSPS anthology, Grist.
