Susan Jakubowski’s read-aloud poems swing from the humorously preposterous to the profound and reflective, giving kids the words for what they feel and adults a way back to an age they never really left.
Susan writes poems that children love hearing—and grown-ups don’t mind reading again (and again, and again). Each verse blends delightful humor and heart with gentle insights about growing up, facing fears, making friends, and discovering the world one rhyme at a time.
Susan has a passion for using rhythm and rhyme to encourage reading development, inspiring kids to see poetry as play rather than work. Influenced by her own childhood filled with the nightly ritual of story time, Susan believes sharing poetry with kids is magic: twenty minutes reading together can spark conversations remembered forever.
