Who is Charles Ghigna?
Charles Ghigna, aka Father Goose, is an Alabama author who's written over 5000 poems and published over 250 books & anthologies! He writes for both youth and adult readers and spends his time travelling to schools, libraries, and book fairs to spread joy and a love for the written word. When he's not out and about, he's at home in his "Treehouse" thinking of even more stories to share.
"Finding poetry in the world and sharing it with others makes us feel alive. It fills us with hope. It celebrates life. It shines light into the corners of the world and turns the overlooked and the common place into sparkling gems of wonder and joy. Writing for children is like that."
- Ghigna
