Award-winning author Julie Krantz's new children's picture book, YOGABETS, introduces the time-honored English alphabet with a contemporary twist-yoga.Written in verse, YOGABETS is the charming story of two young siblings' jam-packed day told by way of ideograms, pictures that illuminate the shape of each letter of the alphabet. Lovers of contemporary children's poets--Joyce Sidman, Jack Prelutsky, Ken Nesbit and Shel Silverstein--will especially enjoy Ms. Krantz's work.YOGABETS not only entertains and informs children about the ABCs, it also manages to captivate parents, teachers and librarians with its delightful tale and innovative illustrations. Especially interesting is the way Ms. Krantz interprets each letter of the alphabet with a unique yoga pose. A must-read for any library or home collection of abecedarians-one that's guaranteed to spend more time off than on the shelves Fans of timeless picture books such as Kay Thompson's Eloise and Eloise in Paris, and Ludwig Bemelman's Madeline, Madeline at Christmas and Mad About Madeline to name a few, as well as readers of Kevin Henkes' Julius: The Baby of the World, Chrysanthemum and Lily will find much to enjoy and admire in Ms. Krantz's offerings.

About the Author
Funny, frank, and affable, Julie Krantz often describes herself as "one of those geeky kids who headed to the library for a good time." A lifelong bibliophile, she showed an early interest in writing, publishing her first article for the Riverton, NJ newspaper in eighth grade. Now a full-time poet, picture book writer and novelist, Julie's work can be found in Spider Magazine and the SCBWI National Bulletin as well as in various other print and online forums. Her forthcoming picture book, YOSHI'S YUCCA, first appeared as a short story in the September 2007 issue of Spider, for which it received a Letter of Merit from the SCBWI Magazine Merit Award Committee in 2008. Julie has also won several other prestigious awards, including a 2006 Emerging Artists Grant from the Durham, NC Arts Council and a First Place in Children's Writing from Carteret Writers, Inc. in 2000. A graduate of Douglass College and Rutgers University (M.A., M.Phil., A.B.D.), she recently earned an Honors Certificate in Creative Writing from UCLA-Extension. In addition to writing, Julie has raised four children (and had her hair raised by them!) and loves to hike, camp, shop, knit, eat and participate in blogs and writing contests. She also enjoys visiting schools for workshops, talks and poetry readings. That just about covers it. Oh! Except for watching movies and traveling. In fact, Julie has lived in many places, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, California, North Carolina, Florida and France.
