John Schu Alex London Thank you so much, Mr. Schu! Here is the YouTube trailer: youtu.be/lA4AR5wG_-E?fe… though now I’m thinking I should have shown more of the disruptive elements in this still life.

Today I joined the lucky middle schoolers at Patricia Fernandez to listen to John Schu share his heart story: Louder Than Hunger. I always love his presentations but this one is so special. 🫶 I feel inspired and also proud. Thanks Alexa Hash for the invite! #TeamSISD #SISDlibraries

Happy new school year!

Your story touched our hearts today! Thank you for coming to El Paso and visiting our library! We had the best morning! Thank you to our amazing principal Patricia Fernandez for supporting author visits and literacy for our scholars! 🖤💛

"Captivating, poignant, graceful, and so important." —Dav Pilkey, author of the New York Times best-selling Dog Man series penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746927/l…
