Recently completed the Amulet series that has enthralled so many young readers. I myself was fascinated by this story that was more like a movie than anything I’ve ever read and made me think way deeper than I expected. #reading #Amulet #graphicnovels @boltcity #deepthinking

The author of 1 of my all time fav books visited @BelleShermanES this week! Ellen Potter engaged our students in what it’s like & what’s needed to be a writer. She also shared some background behind the making of SLOB, one of the most empathetic books I’ve ever had students read.

Nice modern twist on this Christmas classic. I enjoyed Bah! Humbug! by @MichaelRosenYes and felt it served as a good reminder for me. There’s something about Scrooge! #Books #Reading #kidlit #Scrooge

Louder Than Hunger by @MrSchuReads was Sad and Inspiring. A reminder to be kind and slow down. It was so Real and in a way it made me feel Happy!

When it’s @jewell_p_rhodes you know what you’re getting. You better be ready to deal and ready to feel. This one had me feeling and dealing with history, community, mental health, family, friendships, teaching and more. #HorribleBeautiful #Americans
