A day of creativity, thinking, and literacy.

Year 10 in the books! Always a beautiful and inspirational event! Thank you to everyone who supported me in the fight to end childhood cancer. #stjude #stjudeheros

This book demonstrates to young learners that the process of reading is active. I love watching kids talk, flip pages, act out, & ask to bring it to creation stations as inspiration. It is a tool to problem-solve classroom and home situations when we need to take care. Buy it today!

Miss you

Beautiful, inquiry-inspiring book for our first snowy day in Boston. My preschool crew was on the lookout for birds & animal tracks during our snowy walk this morning. Poetry invites. Poetry activates. Poetry is possibilities. #poetry #preschool #earlyliteracy #reggioinspired #reggioemiliaapproach

Grateful this is my 10th year running for a cure as a Hero with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I head to Memphis on Thursday & hope you will join me in helping end childhood cancer. Your donation, no matter what the size, will help!

Just ordered - thank you!

This was a beautiful one to share this week - & every day of the year. “History,language, art, & food make up the heritage of each human being.” The lyrical structure brings out the joy of family, community, & tradition. Endnotes provide additional information & recipes to try. #poetry #bookstagram

This is one to read again & again. The lyrical structure invites you in, slows you down & creates space to feel. This book needs to be in every library. “And no matter what, they can’t they won’t they’ll never dull your shine. “ End pages offer historical information to inspire research & action

Love this book!

Here’s my stack! #BuildYourStack

Reflecting on #NCTE24 w poetry. Thx to educators who connected & reminded me that truth is noticed & appreciated. Truth isn’t easy. Truth requires radical imagination. Truth is love & as bell hooks reminds “choosing to love is a way to move towards freedom & liberate ourselves & others.”
