<strong>Dr</strong>awing on 20 years of hands-on literacy instruction,<br />

<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong> has created fun,<br />

educationally sound, literacy-based books that<br />

encourage critical thinking through strategies based<br />

on Best Practice and State Standards.<br />

Over the last twenty years, her publishing company,<br />

Harlin Jacque Publications, has sold more than a quarter<br />

million books to school systems, libraries, churches,<br />

and literacy organizations across the nation.<br />

<strong>Dr</strong>. Baron’s innovative approach to literacy allows thousands<br />

of children to experience positive and profound<br />

intellectual and emotional growth while strengthening<br />

their critical thinking and honing their linguistic capabilities.<br />

Offering relevant curriculum for every age<br />

group, <strong>Dr</strong>. Baron’s learning materials are designed to<br />

help teachers raise the level of literacy instruction, and<br />

to support the social and emotional development of<br />

students. Each of the series published by Harlin Jacque<br />

fosters self-esteem, motivates creative writing and<br />

inspires dreams.<br />

“REACH OUT AND TOUCH<br />

SOMEBODY’S MIND”<br />

From For the Love of Life<br />

by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

TO ORDER<br />

Sometimes you just want to say “Hello.”<br />

Maybe they’re home, but you don’t know.<br />

So, you let the phone ring a time or two,<br />

Phone: (516) 489-0120<br />

then what you probably will do is hang it up.<br />

Fax: (516) 292-9120<br />

Maybe you’ll “drop another dime”<br />

Email: harlinjacquepub@aol.com<br />

when you’re able to find the time.<br />

So you hang it up.<br />

www.lindamichellebaron.com<br />

But when you KNOW someone is home<br />

and you must reach them, now, by phone,<br />

you don’t just ring a time or two.<br />

You ring and ring ‘til you get through.<br />

If no one picks up, “it must be me,<br />

I dialed a two, I meant a three.”<br />

So, you redial and take more care,<br />

because you know someone is there.<br />

516-489-0120 2<br />

www.lindamichellebaron.com


Maybe something is wrong with the line.<br />

So, you call the operator this time.<br />

You’re more concerned, you start to think,<br />

“Perhaps the equipment is on the blink.”<br />

So, you call phone repair,<br />

explain to them someone IS there.<br />

There must be something they can do.<br />

It is a MUST that you get through.<br />

Well, let me try to make this clear. . .<br />

Compare the phone call to a classroom,<br />

where a child sits w-a-y back in the rear.<br />

He’s wearing shabby clothes . . .<br />

has uncombed hair.<br />

He’s so much slower than the rest . . .<br />

scores so much lower on every test.<br />

Yes, that’s the child I mean.<br />

There’s only one way we can find<br />

the potential of THAT child’s mind.<br />

We have to believe. . .We have to know . . .<br />

We have to try everything<br />

as though it is urgent that we get through . . .<br />

Act exactly the way we do<br />

when we’re calling on the phone,<br />

and we KNOW<br />

someone is home.<br />

Achieving Multiple Literacies<br />

Through the Magic of Poetry<br />

Iwrote a speech<br />

for a group of<br />

teachers in the<br />

city of Philadelphia in<br />

which I said that we<br />

needed to reach out<br />

to our children in the<br />

same way that we<br />

reach out when making<br />

a phone call. Two teachers<br />

followed me to my car<br />

insisting that I turn that<br />

thought into a poem. So I did.<br />

Over the years, this poem has proved to be a teacher<br />

favorite and also a favorite example of how my life as a<br />

teacher and as a teacher of teachers has always intersected<br />

with my life as a poet.<br />

—<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

“Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Mind” by<br />

<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>, from For the Love of Life and<br />

also available as a poster (catalog page 16)<br />

www.lindamichellebaron.com


As an educator,<br />

teacher<br />

and poet, I<br />

have given deep consideration<br />

to the needs of<br />

children in every line that I<br />

write and publish. I hold their faces in mind when I write.<br />

Of course, I have certain advantages. I know the children<br />

of today. I have met them and studied with them, taught<br />

them in the schools and in the streets, in their places of<br />

recreation and of worship, and the centers of our communities,<br />

in cities, suburbs and towns all over our country<br />

for other thirty years. Now I am also helping to prepare<br />

their teachers as a assistant professor of education at<br />

York College of the City University of New York. Like you,<br />

I am looking for answers, looking for “what works.”<br />

What I want to bring to children and to their teachers and<br />

classrooms is a joy in learning, a joy in poetry, literature,<br />

and storytelling, a joy that will aid them and their teachers<br />

in the quests for understanding and achievement.<br />

At Harlin Jacque Publications all of our books and programs<br />

are special and address the needs in the lifestages<br />

of young people, as well as having universal<br />

appeal and application. I wrote many of the poems in<br />

The Sun Is On from the viewpoint of a child. I believe<br />

that a child’s voice and a child’s understanding are<br />

respectfully and joyfully presented in these pages.<br />

The Sun Is On is also a book full of humor and the experience<br />

of life. In The Sun Is On I have created a “Poetry<br />

& Idea Book” that encourages students to produce their<br />

own writing and connect with their own experiences.<br />

Our skilled and experienced educators and educational<br />

consultants have assisted me in adding the additional<br />

components of wonderful and engaging lesson plans,<br />

including a variety of graphic organizers and visualization<br />

aids, in the teacher’s editions, covering all content<br />

areas and designed to create and encourage enthusiastic<br />

young readers and writers.<br />

Down through history, poetry has been one of the most<br />

powerful ways that people reach to each other. Bring<br />

the power of poetry and students’ personal responses<br />

to poetry to your school and classroom today.<br />

“EVEN WEEDS HAVE NEEDS”<br />

From The Sun Is On<br />

by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

Even weeds have needs, you know.<br />

Don't make me creep through cracks,<br />

or race for space to grow.<br />

...............................................................<br />

Even weeds have needs, you know.<br />

And this weed needs a great big garden,<br />

with a gardener who's not afraid<br />

to let me grow.<br />

As our<br />

children<br />

and our adolescents<br />

grow older,<br />

different experiences shape their<br />

future. Rhythm & Dues is a collection of poetry by<br />

<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong> that relates to their changing<br />

world. The Rhythm & Dues writing program includes<br />

activities and writing exercises that encourage creative<br />

thinking and writing skills in children and adolescents.<br />

Rhythm & Dues and the accompanying programs<br />

present a deeply sympathetic environment in which the<br />

budding writer can explore his or her strengths or<br />

weaknesses. At the same time, this is a challenging<br />

program, one which presents the young reader with<br />

options, questions, responsibilities, and decisions.<br />

Skills are acquired, used and practiced. This combination<br />

of practice and effort combined with the permission<br />

to create and the respect for cultural diversity and<br />

multiple literacies are in line with the author’s basic<br />

assumption of responsibility for and connection to her<br />

audience.<br />

Rhythm & Dues, as befits the title, is also one of<br />

<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s earthiest, most sincere, and intense<br />

books, deeply connected to and drawing from the oral traditions<br />

of African American music and storytelling.<br />

Here, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong> has created a vehicle for<br />

students to create in their own "Oral Tradition," meaning<br />

that they will have the opportunity to read, relate,<br />

enjoy, and make a connection with her two poetry<br />

books, Rhythm & Dues: Poetry & Ideas and Rhythm &<br />

Dues: Poetry Response Book. Both present poetry<br />

interpretation in a “user-friendly" format. Students will<br />

learn to interpret poetry and adapt this process to<br />

other literature. In reading and using these two books,<br />

students will learn to appreciate and love poetry. Each<br />

poem is presented in a creative format and is accompanied<br />

with related skills and activities. These activities<br />

engage students and present the concept of poetry in<br />

a clear, concise format. Each poem is also accompanied<br />

by skills that foster and encourage critical thinking<br />

and thoughtful creativity.<br />

RHYTHM & DUES<br />

Poetry & Idea Book<br />

Rhythm & Dues is a poetry book that<br />

is more than just poetry. It is about coming of age. And<br />

the rites of passage. It is a vehicle by which one can<br />

travel from one stage of life to the next. I believe<br />

Rhythm & Dues should become an integral part of the<br />

middle/high school personal and academic experience.<br />

The parent<br />

connection<br />

is valued<br />

and respected by all our educational consultants at<br />

Harlin Jacque. We also write, edit and design our<br />

books with the family in mind.<br />

It is very important that you, as a parent, participate<br />

with interest in your children’s education throughout<br />

their school years. With that in mind, activities for<br />

Anthony Ant and Grady Grasshopper were prepared<br />

for a future of enrichment and involvement between<br />

you and your children.<br />

This well-loved fable is a favorite of children of all ages.<br />

Children love to hear and reread it over and over again.<br />

When the end of the story is read or heard and the<br />

activities begin, children’s imaginations run rampant,<br />

thoughts begin to form, and new ideas develop.<br />

I know these activities will allow you and your children<br />

to spend quality time together. In addition to teaching<br />

your children to appreciate others, these exercises will<br />

help foster a lifelong appreciation of writing, reading,<br />

and learning.<br />

It is very important that all attempts at reading and<br />

writing are valued. Allow children to make mistakes<br />

and remember the importance of correcting errors<br />

with patience and love.<br />

Don’t forget to be inventive and creative. You know your<br />

child better than anyone else. Choose the activities that<br />

best suit your child’s age, needs, and interests. Begin<br />

a library of great children’s books. Have your children<br />

choose their favorite book of the month. Establish<br />

weekly library trips. Don’t forget the library card.<br />

Remember a literacy-rich home environment will provide<br />

your children with literacy-rich futures.<br />

You are<br />

about to<br />

enter the<br />

world of poetry. Not just any<br />

world of poetry but the world of poetry inhabited by<br />

poet extraordinaire, <strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>. These<br />

poems, so various and tender, so deceptively simple<br />

and yet deeply complex, will touch your heart, force<br />

you to see life differently and make your spirit dance.<br />

To read them is to be in her presence. It will be as if<br />

you are holding her in the palm of your hands while<br />

she personally shares her soul with you. Can a poet be<br />

raucous and decorous? Can she be simultaneously<br />

ancient in wisdom and young in innocence? Can a warrior<br />

woman be tender and an earth mother? Can she<br />

wield a word as fierce as a sword? Can a woman so<br />

black be also so entirely composed of a many-colored<br />

rainbow of humanity? I invite you to address yourself to<br />

these questions as you follow<br />

<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s<br />

captivating poetic voice<br />

down the labyrinth of<br />

time and spirit, word<br />

and idea; and then, as<br />

we used to say, “you tell<br />

me.” I know you will<br />

enjoy reading For the<br />

Love of Life: Life Lyrics<br />

from an Oral Tradition.<br />

“JUMP FOR THE SUN”<br />

From For the Love of Life<br />

by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

Live like we know<br />

There’s a race to be won<br />

But to win it we have to<br />

Jump for the sun.<br />

Don’t let the sun shine on our face.<br />

Jump for the sun. Don’t stand in place.<br />

The universe has enough for everyone<br />

But to get it we have to jump for the sun.<br />

We know what it takes to begin.<br />

Get knowledge and stamina. Get set to win<br />

Get discipline, focus and control<br />

We’re getting ready to reach a goal.<br />

Jump for the sun.<br />

I‘ve Known<br />

Rivers Press is proud to introduce, as its first title, the<br />

work of poet Herman Alexander Baron III. In<br />

Conversations with My Soul: Messages from a<br />

Wounded Warrior, Baron gives us a voice that is both<br />

a cry from the heart and a window into a unique<br />

poetic voice.<br />

Baron, who is incarcerated in a federal prison in the<br />

south, was born in 1976. His poems are part of a long<br />

tradition in African American letters of poetry and song<br />

of the incarcerated and the enslaved. From the<br />

enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley, to the folksinger Huddie<br />

Leadbetter (Leadbelly) and the poet Ethridge Knight,<br />

both of whom won their freedom through their art,<br />

African American letters and song have long included<br />

those forcibly held at the margins of society in its<br />

ranks. Its prose writers have also included former<br />

slaves and former prisoners, from Frederick Douglass<br />

to Chester Himes and Malcolm X.<br />

This is the tradition that’s produced this young poet and<br />

his very special book. His voice, though still<br />

in development, shows<br />

remarkable confidence.<br />

With echoes<br />

of influences ranging<br />

from today’s hip<br />

hop vernacular to<br />

the “cry” of Rilke,<br />

Herman Baron’s work<br />

speaks with the voice<br />

of a generation of<br />

African American men<br />

whose culture is linked<br />

with incarceration, but<br />

one that nevertheless,<br />

seeks to liberate its<br />

soul. With these poems,<br />

these “conversations”<br />

Baron gives us the voice<br />

of his liberating soul.<br />

“Champion”<br />

From Conversations with<br />

My Soul<br />

by Herman Baron III<br />

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired,<br />

Having to cry in the dark,<br />

Unable to express the emotions I truly feel<br />

in my heart,<br />

Because it wasn’t scripted in my part.<br />

But I’m human, dammit, not an actor.<br />

Did you think to factor into the equation<br />

That maybe I was just good at the art of<br />

persuasion?<br />

I spent years living behind my disguise,<br />

Infecting my mind and body with lies,<br />

So I could be a part of lives I knew nothing about.<br />

I brainwashed myself into doubt<br />

And now it’s a heavyweight bout.<br />

I’m blocking out all the screams and shouts,<br />

I’m focused for the title fight of my life,<br />

It’s the 3rd round and victory is nowhere in sight.<br />

Self-destruction keeps hitting me with rights<br />

It’s taking all my might just to stay in the fight.<br />

10th round and I’m still on my feet.<br />

My adversary is underestimating me,<br />

Doesn’t know I’m playing for keeps,<br />

And when the final bell rings<br />

I’ll be the true champion of my life.<br />

This retelling<br />

is<br />

less an<br />

Aesop’s Fable and<br />

more a visit with<br />

the characteristics of<br />

some of the people I<br />

know. But that’s actually what<br />

a fable is. The lion is a personality that has traveled a<br />

gap of several centuries, yet in many ways he’s the<br />

same lion. But the lion<br />

is also a cultural statement,<br />

a message to<br />

some of those who<br />

think they “got it going<br />

on.” I hear them in the<br />

cadence and arrogance<br />

of Lion. I could<br />

not develop this story<br />

without the push of a<br />

deadline and the<br />

continued intervention<br />

of reviews that<br />

reiterated that the<br />

story was not complete.<br />

I thought I<br />

was too tired to add<br />

whatever… and yet<br />

Lion won. He<br />

wasn’t finished yet.<br />

And even as I completed his story, I want to<br />

create more Lion stories. In fact,<br />

look for my retelling of the street rap<br />

that Oscar Brown, Jr. cleaned up,<br />

“Signifying Monkey.” This is my<br />

attempt to pressure myself into sitting<br />

down to sweat through the next<br />

story.<br />

“THE LION AND THE MAN: A<br />

FABLE” by <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

From Tales with Tails<br />

by The Writers of Pen & Rose<br />

LION ROAMED THE African terrain, much like other<br />

lions you might have seen in photographs in<br />

National Geographic magazines, or those you may<br />

have witnessed during TV shows and in the movies.<br />

Although he looked similar to the captive lions you<br />

see in your local zoo, he was definitely unlike them<br />

in that he was free, born free, free as the wind<br />

blows, free as the grass . . . well you probably get<br />

my drift. And yes, he roared a wild, untamed, “I can<br />

chew you up for dinner as easily as I can pick my<br />

teeth” roar. He roared upon waking up, and at any<br />

time or anyplace throughout the day. Usually he<br />

roared for no other reason than that he liked the<br />

sound of his deep, ferocious, macho, king-of-thejungle<br />

tones.<br />

I am the king.<br />

I am king of everything!<br />

ABOUT ABOUT<br />

Harlin Jacque Publications and<br />

<strong>Dr</strong>. <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

“You can sense immediately that <strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong><br />

has looked deep into the eyes, the faces, the hearts,<br />

and the minds of the young and not so young people<br />

for a long time.”<br />

—Ruby Dee<br />

Actress and Author<br />

“These poems, so various and tender, so deceptively<br />

simple and yet deeply complex, will touch your<br />

heart, force you to see life differently and make<br />

your spirit dance.”<br />

—Wally Amos<br />

Literacy Advocate and Cookie Baron<br />

<strong>Lindamichellebaron</strong>’s intellectual light burst like a<br />

sunbeam flashing into unlit places. She brought<br />

vigor, energy, hope, joy and promise to children<br />

whose school experiences had been devoid of<br />

color, brightness, or cultural relevance. She lit their<br />

“unlit lamps.” Until today, she persists in this<br />

sacred mission.<br />

—<strong>Dr</strong>. Adelaide Sanford<br />

New York State Regent<br />
