ReFoReMo Day 23:  Tracey M. Cox Listens to the Music

3/24/2015

by Tracey M. Cox

Rocking with the rhythm is something we think of with songs. Stories based on songs can carry the ebb and flow with their text. This helps pull the reader further into a story. A story can use a phrase or the beat of a song to guide the story. Here are some books that get my toes tapping.


Little Goblins Ten by Pamela Jane and Jane Manning
Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward and Steve Jenkins
Over In the Forest by Marianne Berkes and Jill Dubin
One Love by Cedella Marley and Vanessa Newton
Five Little Ducks by Anthony Lewis

These talented writers will be helping with registration and the Facebook group.  After registration, they will assist with questions in the FB group, so consider sending them goodies in the mail. (Just kidding!)  Rest assured that we will respond to you, but please be patient.  We prefer to reserve email as a last resort, but we understand that not all of you will opt to join the private Facebook group. If you need assistance with registration related questions, I (Carrie) will be your contact.  The registration post will go live next Sunday, February 15.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
