12/14/12 - A Brighton author and high school teacher did a reading and signed copies of his recently-published book in at Barnes and Noble in Green Oak last night. Todd Day teaches creative writing at Brighton High School, and on October 23rd his book âNever Play Checkers With A Leapfrogâ was published. It is a book of quirky poetry aimed at young or amateur poets that emulates the style of Shel Silverstein, author of âThe Giving Tree.â It also includes explanations of the techniques and tools used to create the poems to teach the reader how to become a better poet. At yesterdayâs book signing, Day read selected poems from the book for gathered families. He says the book is for younger audiences than his own students, but he would like to see other teachers take advantage of it. Day will hold another signing and reading of the book at Tuesday Books in downtown Williamston tonight from 6:00 to 8:00pm. The book is available at Barnes and Noble, or click the link below to find out how to purchase it online. (TD)
