Ended today with the newly minted Caldecott Medal winning book Big. More magical every time I read it.

THE WILD ROBOT ESCAPES is one of the most philosophical middle grade novels I have ever read. My brain hurts. My heart is happy. My 10 year old self is thrilled that today’s kids have this book. Well done, Mr. Brown. Well done. #bookaday https://t.co/APv0jYS8dV

We finished reading aloud Sharon Draper’s OUT OF MY MIND in my fifth grade classroom. I had never read this one out loud. Wow. It was intense. I’m thankful that my readers will be able to carry Melody’s story with them in their hearts. #readaloud #nerdybookclub #bookaday https://t.co/hsM6dt87NW

Just finished Donna Gephart's In Your Shoes. It is such a beautiful read. I can't wait for kids to meet the characters in this book. Adding it to my list of awesome 2018 books! https://t.co/xRY6StvJc8 #bookaday https://t.co/DmguyNbJcH

Skunk and Badger is written by @amytimberlake, with the pictures done by Jon Klassen. Friends, this book is so darn well done. The writing gave my goosebumps. It is just gorgeous. And Jon’s art, is well, Jon’s art. Wow. Add this one to your 2021 Newbery list. It is that good!!!! https://t.co/307V5NMxWz

Is it too early to start talking about contenders for the 2024 Newbery Medal? I read Dan Santat’s A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING today and I was blown away. One of the best and most unforgettable graphic novels that I have ever read. Wow! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ https://t.co/EjgngGZnih

Happy book birthday 2 ⁦@LaurelSnyder⁩ and THE WITCH OF WOODLAND. The 5th grader that reads more than any other kid in my class said, “it’s the best book I’ve read all year!” Listen my conversation w/ Laurel about the book on ⁦@theyarnpodcast⁩. https://t.co/NkyTZb7VM0

Kenneth Oppel’s BLOOM is one of the most intense books I have ever read. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book. Readers are going to fall hard for these characters, and readers are going to lose sleep waiting for book 2. This is an absolute must read book. #bookaday https://t.co/g3lTJGoFv2
