Joyce was born
in Connecticut
but now lives
in Wayzata,
Minnesota.
She is widely
known for the
lively poetry
she has written
for children.
Her award-winning books include
Dark Emperor (a Newbery honor
book), Song of the Water Boatman
and Red Sings from Treetops (both
Caldecott honor books), Butterfly
Eyes (Cybils Award), and This Is
Just to Say (Claudia Lewis Poetry
Award).
A recent starred review in School
Library Journal said, “Sidman’s ear
is keen, capturing many voices. Her
skill as a poet accessible to young
people is unmatched.”
