Hi - I'm a poet (adult and children's), short story writer and radio dramamtist. I'm being considered for some work with Cbeebies and while I was doing some research for that I came across the children's poetry thread on mumsnet. So good to hear about parents considering poetry. My two collections were both shortlited for the CLPE Award - the only prize for a poetry book in this country. The second was also a Poetry Book Society Choice for the Children's Poetry Bookshelf. If you're interested my website has details of my books, reviews, and sample poems and illustrations. www.chrissiegittins.co.uk
