The wonderful poet, writer, and illustrator Karla Kuskin died a week ago - I was away and did not realize it until just a day or so ago. I have always loved her work - and was pleased to have reviewed one of her lovely books. A great writer for children and a gifted poet. Here is a tribute including a lovely poem and the obituary from the Times also showing how deft and thoughtful her poetry was to read and to say aloud.August 28, 2009
