I was lucky enough to get an arc of Coyote Lost and Found by Dan Gemeinhart . I’m only a few chapters in but it’s like getting a warm hug from an old friend. Thank you for bringing Coyote back to us, Dan. Can’t wait to see how her story unfolds. 📚❤️

Just finished Louder Than Hunger by John Schu. This book is POWERFUL and sweet and tragic and triumphant! A must purchase, a must read. This book will change and save lives. TY John, for having the courage to share Jake’s story. It will always stay with me.

I meet and talk to so many people who believe that ALL school librarians do is check out books and put them back once kids return them. Here is just SOME of what they ACTUALLY do. And not on this list: foster a lifelong love of reading. And what could be more important than that?
