Happy birthday, Ray Bradbury! Bradbury's DANDELION WINE was the first novel that made me aware of how voice can enhance reader experience. More about Ray Bradbury inspiration + song 🎵 I wrote based on one of his short stories: https://t.co/WoreVWqGUW https://t.co/dHHc1n2S7H

cont'd Yet one more reason I recommend A PLACE TO BELONG by Cynthia Kadohata for young readers: It encourages them to dig deeper when it comes to history, to look at events from different angles and to not be afraid to ask QUESTIONS.
