—Brianna Burgos, age 11, author T IS FOR TEXAS

"My favorite part was learning words about Texas and trying to make them rhyme."
—John Gomez, age 11, author T IS FOR TEXAS

"I'm so proud to have my poems in a book. I will remember this forever." —Sebastian Lopez, age 11, author T IS FOR TEXAS

"Writing these poems showed me that Texas and poetry are AWESOME." —Ernest Manzo, age 9, author T IS FOR TEXAS
