Bonni Goldberg is an award-winning, best-selling writer, educator, artist, and innovator. Since she was 10 years old and her teacher, Mrs. Thaine, introduced her to poems, she's never stopped writing. Bonni uses words and images to empower children and adults to celebrate and make sense of themselves, others, and communities near and far (in time, locale, and imagination).

A crowd-pleasing presenter, Bonni is available for school vis ...more
