Marilyn Singer
Marilyn Singer is the Award-winning Author of over 100 books. I originally knew her best from a children’s literature class as a poet and then over a decade later as the author of my daughter’s favorite series when she was about three about a spunky ballerina. I love her poetic, lyrical approach to storytelling and find her words often lovely to read aloud. I am focusing on picture books here, but Marilyn Singer has written something for just about everyone. You can see her full list of titles and more on her website.Â
