"The Emotional Lives of Teenagers" is finally out this week (yay!), & it's another must-read by the brilliant ⁦@LDamour⁩. As she tells ⁦@lindy2350⁩: "We don’t want our kids to experience pain, but it's not only unavoidable, but often of value." https://t.co/zG17zN9su3

I told educator Katie Powell (BOREDOM BUSTERS) that I was hooked on page 1 of her new book, FRUSTRATION BUSTERS. That may sound like hyperbole, so I'm including the 1st page here. See for yourself! @Beyond_the_Desk not only offers inspired tips, she can really tell a story. @AMLE https://t.co/MSyWHLK88w

The @SheridanDC kindergarteners created a gratitude book to thank @dfkris for reading them two of her wonderful new books -- "I Love You All the Time" & "You Have Feelings All the Time." Here are a few of the pages. Deborah, please DM me your address so I can send it to you! 💕 https://t.co/NUlLT3eDxU

My colleague spotted "Middle School Matters" in this Little Library in Chicago & almost didn't tell me because she worried I'd be upset that someone had given it away. But as I told her, seeing my book "in the wild" never gets old. Plus, I prefer to think they simply finished it! https://t.co/PCPx1m6Xt0

I ❤️ the emphasis on relationship-building, flexibility & giving students autonomy in @mcps instructional specialist @MirPloMCPS's great new release, "TEACH MORE, HOVER LESS." Congrats, Miriam! (As an aside, I was surprised & honored that you shared some of my ideas in the book!) https://t.co/bntjI5L91u

"What Do You Say?" is now available in paperback! And like @NedJohnson's first book, "The Self-Driven Child," it's practical, positive, well-researched and well worth the read ⬇️. https://t.co/mI1ryNsIEQ
