BIOGRAPHY

Hi! I’m Paul Orshoski, an educator, children’s author and poet. I’m glad you stopped by! I am a former school teacher, coach and principal living in Sandusky, Ohio.  Currently, I am the Superintendent of a small school district in Northwest Ohio.  In my spare time, I write witty, humorous, rhyming children’s poetry.

I have been fortunate to have ten children’s books published by Treasure Bay Books:  Where is My Frog?, Bugs on the Bus,  Ant in Her Pants, I Do Not Like Greens!, Robot Man, Talent Night, Sports Dream, and Dad Does It All.  All of these books are part of Treasure Bay’s “We Read Phonics” series.  The books are designed to make it easy for parents to help their children improve phonics skills and read a decodable story.  Each book combines a fun story with simple games for phonics and sight words.

Treasure Bay Books also publishes a “We Both Read” series.  I have two books in that series entitled, My Sitter Is a T-Rex! and The Mouse in My House.

Some of my poems have appeared in the following poetry anthologies from Meadowbrook Press:  My Teacher’s in Detention, Dinner with Dracula, I’ve Been Burping in the Classroom, I Hope I Don’t Strike Out, and What I Did on My Summer Vacation.  I have also had poems published in the following magazines:  Hopscotch For Girls, Fun For Kidz, Boys’ Quest, Scholastic Action, and The School Administrator.

While you’re here, please check out my writing credits page.  It includes the names of all the books and poems I have written, as well as the anthologies, magazines, and web sites where my poems have appeared.  Also, please read some of the poems I have written and check out the books page if you are interested in purchasing any of my books or the anthologies that my poems appear in.

Whenever possible, I enjoy making kids giggle during school visits by enthusiastically performing my poems in small or large group settings wherever I am asked to present.

Enjoy!  And while you’re here, please drop me an email!  I’d love to hear from you!
