NPM 2018: What poetry do you pack in a bag almost full?

National Poetry Month 2018
"Give praise with friends near and far,
flinging words to the sky!"
- Amy Ludwig VanDerwater

My bags were almost full for my trip to Oklahoma when I remembered that I wanted to take some poetry to share with my niece's fourth grade students. I squeezed in my Poem In My Pocket apron and looked at my shelf. So many books to choose from and so little room . . . So I decided to bring two books perfect for sharing with fourth grade.
