Suzie Bitner Was Afraid of the Drain is an international award-winning children’s poetry collection comprised of 124 poems and over 100 illustrations. Written by Barbara Vance, the book is filled with humorous and whimsical poems that take you to a world where mice wear roller-skates, a girl turns into a peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich, and a baseball embarks on an unexpected trip. Designed to entertain and educate, “Suzie” intersperses challenging and fun words like “salubrious” and “discourse” throughout its poems. Winner of the Children's Moonbeam Award, An Indie Book Awards Finalist, and two-time Texas Bluebonnet Finalist.
