Tabatha at The Opposite of Indifference is hosting the Poetry Friday Roundup today. If you’d like to know more about Poetry Friday, click HERE for an explanation by Renee LaTulippe.

Hello, Great Readers of our series! Just In case you haven’t visited before, let me tell you a little about A Great Nephew and A Great Aunt. My great nephew, Landon (a seventh-grader) and I (his great aunt) collaborate. I write a poem which he illustrates. We started this collaboration in the fall of 2014 and have had so much fun with it that we decided to invite others along. Landon and I will continue to have a new episode on one Friday of each month. The other Fridays are filling up quickly with guests. I have created a page on my website to view all the episodes of A Great Nephew and a Great Aunt. Click HERE to visit the page and enjoy past episodes.

Today it’s my pleasure to share a creative collaboration from . . .

Rebecca Gomez and Her Niece, Rebekah

From Rebecca: I have 27 nieces and nephews, so it was bit of a challenge to choose one of them! But after some deliberation, I asked my niece Rebekah, who is twelve, to collaborate with me on this project. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about, so I asked her if she would draw some kind of wintry scene, and I would write a poem to go with it. I was delighted when her mom sent me this adorable drawing!
