About the authors
Greetings and thanks for welcoming me into your home. Since I write books for both young readers and adults, I've cooked up two long-winded paragraphs.
Kids first: So, I'm the author of some six dozen books for children of all ages. New titles include THE TALE OF RESCUE, a tale of adventure and bravery that features a cattle dog who saves a family stranded in a blizzard. There's also: THE FOREVER FLOWERS; MY DOG! A Kid's Guide to Keeping a Happy & Healthy Dog (the ideal go-to dog guide for families); a pop-up book with Robert Sabuda, CHANUKAH LIGHTS, winner of the Sydney Taylor Award; and three books of haiku on dogs, birds, and THE MAINE COON'S HAIKU and Other Poems for Cat Lovers.
For over 35 years, ever since working as a counselor, water-safety instructor, and art teacher at local community centers, I've been engaged with young children, their parents and teachers. As a visiting author, in-service speaker, and workshop leader, I frequently travel to schools and conferences around the nation, sharing stories, poems, creativity, and humor.
Several of my books here show my work as editor/anthologist or illustrator. It has been my privilege to have enlisted hundreds of other authors and artists to create 15 philanthropic books that aid in the fight to end childhood hunger through Share Our Strength's national efforts, or that offer care to less fortunate companion animals through The Company of Animals Fund, a granting program I administered for a dozen years.
Now, for adults. I can start by saying I'm a poet. I went to Columbia from 1979-1981, and received my MFA there. Poems are now collected in three volumes, which are all featured here at Amazon. Moving home to Ohio, I worked as an illustrator (while in NYC, I began selling spot illustrations to The New Yorker and Gourmet magazines); one of my first real clients was The Thurber House, the soon-to-be-restored home of Columbus's native son, James Thurber. For almost twenty years, I helped to restore the home, develop the programs there, and edit much of Thurber's uncollected work. (Those volumes are also featured here.) It was there, I began to edit short story anthologies, commission great writers to contribute to books about dogs, horses, and even VW Beetles. That's also where I started Mirth of a Nation, a three-volume humor biennial that constitutes almost 2,000 pages of the best contemporary humor.
Otherwise, my Website has a good deal about my life on the 100-acre farm I share in Central Ohio. Thanks again for reading along with me.
You'll see in the video section, two new videos of me reading poems from my new book, Every Species of Hope. They're shot and illustrated with photos from here.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020This book is high quality, beautifully illustrated and a fabulous story. Every home that celebrates Thanksgiving should have this book at their table as the opening to their gathering.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2011I think The Greatest Table is one of the most beautiful books ever published. The illustrations, all done by various child's book illustrators, are lovely and engaging. The sentiment of the simple text is something that should touch every person's heart. It is a plea for sharing and including others in the world feast.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019Wonderful book for your child about sharing and hunger. We all can learn to share at the great table.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018Love this book! We use it to talk about World Communion Sunday as well as hunger issues with our children at church.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016Beautiful design, important message. I plan to use it with my students as we reflect on the work we do to help people who are hungry.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2011This is one of the most inspiring books I have ever bought as a teacher. It is
about world hunger, but has all the known children illustrators included. Each page is a masterpiece. Enjoy the spirit that the book gives off.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019Love this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020There are two different versions of The Greatest Table by Michael Rosen. My accordion style book is from 1994 and the current one appears to be a traditional format book. I think that some of the reviews are for the accordion-style book. Just don’t want customers to be confused. P.S. So wish that the 1994 version was still available.
