A bit of research into the call and mission of @LitPartners and I’m following. Later this month, the group is hosting a virtual reading of Toni Morrison’s THE BLUEST EYE. Featuring Black voices together around the book. I registered. You can too. https://events.literacypartners.org/bluesteye/

What’s Warming My Reader’s Heart This Afternoon: The number of friends posting images of John Schu’s THIS IS A STORY (with illustrations from Lauren Castillo). I get to add mine. And this book to the #Room407 canon (some books land there in advance—and on the day—of release). https://t.co/sdhjxBROUR

Summertime reading affords return to familiar characters and stories that have new companion titles—like Sharon Mills Draper’s OUT OF MY MIND. Patronizing the local library (Galena) means I don’t have to go to my classroom to get the original introduction to “Melody.” https://t.co/iuNmOnG0xS

Story Time with Fletcher the Hound. Tonight’s book is Lita Judge’s DOGS: A HISTORY OF OUR BEST FRIENDS. He really likes the pictures. https://t.co/zZoixwMhPm

First #WinterBreakBook read. @markcrilley’s MY LAST SUMMER WITH CASS (@littlebrown March 21). A friendship connects by art, challenged by change. Can’t wait for the finished copy. Ages 14+. Michigan friends will appreciate the Topinabee setting of the part of this graphic novel. https://t.co/clCfduMfav
