Lesléa Newman's personal essay, "When Death Came to Call" has been published by obit-mag.com and can be found here: http://www.obitmag.com/news.php?id=230.  She has sold three children's books: Continuing the pioneering work she began with HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES, Leslea has sold the first board books ever written for children with two moms or two dads. MOMMA, MOMMY, AND ME and DADDY, PAPA, AND ME will be published by Tricycle Press in 2009. MISS TUTU'S STAR, a picture book about a clumsy little girl who wants to be a ballerina (another example of thinly disguised autobiographical fiction) is forthcoming from Abrams.

Poets take note: all three books are written in rhyming verse. leslea@lesleakids.com
