Bob Morrow
Bob Morrow began writing for children's magazines in the late 1980s, after a longtime career as a photojournalist for television, radio, and print media.
His nonfiction young adult book about the immigration controversy has just been updated with the new title, Immigration: Rich Diversity or Social Burden, as part of Lerner’s “USA Today’s Debate” series. The first edition, titled Immigration: Blessing or Burden, was selected for the 1997 Best Books list by the Bank Street College of Education.
Bob has successfully crossed the gap between young adult and picture books more than once.
The charming Let's Take the Zoo Bus! published by Kindermusik International, offered interactive fun to human children.
Most recently, he applied what he knows about early childhood to the feathered children in many pet-lovers’ homes. Polly Wants a Poem: Poetry and Prose for Parrots was written specifically to be read aloud to talking birds.
He has published numerous children's stories and poems in magazines in the U.S. and abroad.
