Hi teachers & friends! To celebrate the upcoming release of my 25th book, I am giving away 2500 copies of I Survived the Dust Bowl over the next 10 days.
Today: 10 class sets of 25. To enter, like this post & retweet. Winners announced tomorrow am. ❤️
Dawn Staley is an absolute class act. After finishing a perfect season, she has enough class and humility to personally thank Caitlin Clark from her award stage:
“I want to personally thank
Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport, she carried a heavy load for our sport.”
The manuscript critique opening in May has been claimed but I'll still do some $20 query critiques for the rest of the day if anyone else wants one. Next opening for a full MS critique is now the end of June. Thanks to everyone who shared the thing!
JUST NOW: Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias SILENCES Lindsey Graham during a hearing on Republican book banning:
He says it PERFECTLY. 👇
“Don’t let one parent who disagrees with a certain world view determine whether a book should be in a library.
That goes against the very point of our Democracy, (it hinders) the means to educate our youth, and to allow them to think for themselves.”
Illinois is the first state to enact a law that requires state libraries uphold a pledge not to ban material because of partisan disapproval.
Smash that heart if you agree books should be READ and not BANNED! 💙
@Kirsty_H220 My students with autism make every day brighter. I’ve learned so much more from them than they’ve learned from me, and I’d like to think I’ve done my job well. 💗
My sweet girl passed on today after 14 years of unconditional love. She’s been along for every small and large event of my adult life. Things won’t be the same without her. 💔
