Powerful and haunting adaptation of Animal Farm. Wow!

Love! It’s going into my high school classroom library as we get into the Cold War/Space Race. We all deserve to be seen in our heroes! I learned so much - embarrassed to say I had no idea of these heroes. We will be using this book to inspire future research. Picture books belong in all classrooms

So. Much. This. @djpatrickareed.bsky.social pulled me in on the very first page!

Thank you @nadinetakvorian.bsky.social for sharing powerful history about the Armenian genocide. An inhuman event, still ongoing, made human/accessible through the eyes of young woman trying to find truth of her family & how to share it. The power graphic novels to emotionally involve the reader.

I absolutely love this book! A perfect example of why we need to approach literature as humanities- the history, the people, the words -all go together. Will be going in my classroom as we teach about the Spanish Civil War & rise of totalitarianism! Eileen Blair is a hero. @andreachalupa.bsky.social

This book hit me directly in the feels! Beautiful message of taking it easy on yourself& finding your way. “You’ll find where your art belongs.” …. I can’t wait to get this into my classroom as this message will resonate with so many of my students. Thank you @faitherinhicks.bsky.social

Out this August! Can’t wait to see it in full color. Zany and hysterical fun. Visual story-telling taking full advantage of the medium. Team work. Fascinating science sprinkled throughout. LOVE how the end of each chapter builds suspense. All from the brilliant . @johnbgallagher.bsky.social

That means the world from you! Thank you!

Totally freaking out! The panel that my wife and I proposed for NCTE in Philly has been accepted!!!!! I absolutely love getting to share her awesomeness!

As well you should! If you’re ever back in the Philly area…. Is there an interview somewhere with you discussing the creation of the supervillain Genocide?
