Read the full review.
Horn Book editors: Not everyone in the collection is someone you’d necessarily think of as a poet. How did you select your contributors?
Kenn Nesbitt: For this anthology, I reached out to nearly two hundred new and established children’s poets from around the world. I also contacted a few authors who, though better known as novelists or picture book writers, have shown a strong interest in poetry. From these submissions, I was able to select the poems that were best suited for pleasurable bedtime reading and that spotlighted each author’s skill as a children’s poet.
