Poem by Marilyn Jones |
Here's the last part of the poem
"Our Unique Peninsula":
I couldn't wait to read her next book
of other Great Lakes I haven't seen,
It feels like she's an old friend now
that's the sign of a good author, Loreen!
Thanks to this special group, the librarians who coordinated my visit, and to Marilyn for the gift of her poem.
That is exactly what I thought from the first book on, "This woman is a friend."
