Laura, what a feat! This was -- is -- so inspiring. I'm definitely doing it next year (though, probably with children's poetry ๐Ÿ˜‰) Kudos on this incredible roundup of your month!

It's one of my very favorite book-related things! It makes me happy that you're inspired to it, too. Someone I know on the internet read a few illustrated kids books of poems (by poets like Emily Dickinson and a few others I think) during the Sealey and I thought it was such a great idea! I may throw in a few of those next year.

Someone I follow on IG did all kids books, which is how I heard about it in the first place, before I saw you doing it. It's not realistic for me, probably, to read an entire volume of poetry for adults every day -- even a children's books might be a stretch -- but I want to try!

Trying is what it's all about! I definitely have not finished every time I've done it but it is worth it regardless.
