POETRY!
Poems include the award winning "He Brings Yellow Flowers To The City" and "Star Stuff." The poem "The Princess, To The Prince" has been widely published on greetings eCards. "Morning Reassurance" has been displayed in galleries as Word Art.
POETRY! Handle with Care is a visually compelling project where art, taken in tandem with its poetry, unfolds much like fiction. Each poem can and should be read as separate entities, but taken as a whole work, from cover to cover, one feels a story has been told.
"witty and whimsical... Albright delivers a very honest and personal – and sometimes very funny – collection of lifelong poetry." -Mark McGinty of
The Boogle
"I envisioned the poet wearing sunglasses while reading it and really playing it up for the audience."
-Shannon Yarbrough of
LL Book Review
Pull Pull
Book for Babies } Pull This, Pull That
The rhythmic story of a baby who likes to pull all sorts of things to find out what happens. She pulls Grandpa's glasses, Daddy's nose, and Mommy's hair... and with every pull gets a very gratifying reaction.
At last we see that Baby has pulled down the table cloth and rather than hear the anticipated, "Ah! Oh! No! Let go, let go, let go! Sweet Baby, let go!" We hear crashing and banging noises from various items falling off the table, a fantastic payoff.
Colors are bright, forms are simple, but a little mouse romance (a subplot) will hold the child's interest well into their toddler years.
