Q2. What do classroom teachers and librarians hope to get from their mentors?

#KidsNeedMentors

A2. My students have already learned so much from Angela Dominguez -STELLA DÍAZ LEAPS TO THE FUTURE The fact that she is bilingual has connected deeply with my students. Her characters also speak Spanish and she sent us several bilingual and Spanish books. They have really empowered my students. #KidsNeedMentors
