Barnes & Noble Days Poem by Suzae Chevalier

Working at Barnes and Noble

was interesting indeed,

I had managed to succeed

in doing many book readings.

I had my books short listed by Kim,

she was sweet and let my books in.

In Barnes and Noble for the very first time,

so I could read my books that really do rhyme.

In reading my book “Sarah’s Special Birthday”

children got to sit in the chair by a tray.

singing “Happy Birthday” with their very own name.

Tray had on it a cake that did very much light,

it lit up from UniCandle unicorn right on site.

Blowing out the “fake cake” the kids were amazed,

How could the cake light up

was the question they had raised.

Many older kids knew the trick,

They rubbed the white lever they did click.

Now, kids loved Melodie and UniCandle unicorn too,

I would sign their books with their names and Sue.

Now I will go by Suzae instead,

at the end of my show when I have read,

my books for when you go to bed.

They are dream books about

Adventures to be told,

hopefully I will get them

in major bookstores

before I am really old.
