@CarolCHinz Why not help the students tell the story. Start by sharing the basic story structure with them beginning with the problem. Then show the pictures and encourage them to say what is happening in your story giving them clues to look for in the pictures they see.

Thrilled to announce that my 2020 Washington State Book Award-winning Growing Up Gorilla is now available in paperback at your favorite independent bookstore or from the publisher @lernerbooks.com.

@katelanddeck @FOXSports Thx for sharing this great story of another big first for women pilots in the military. Love your book about the WASP, Kate, the pioneering female pilots who flew for the military during WW2.

[Dr.Katherine Sharp Landdeck @katelanddeck]

Great story on the women pilots flying over the #SuperBowl today and the legacy they represent of women like Rosemary Mariner. Watch the @FOXSports pregame show to meet Capt Joellen Oslund - the 4th woman to earn her Navy wings back in 1974. Amazing women. https://t.co/5mJK3d4ufR

On one of the hottest days in Seattle’s history, we waited til early evening to take our kayaks out into the Salish Sea and felt the kiss of a cool breeze at last.

Just finished watching the feel good series @Tedlasso with the great @arlowhite announcing. The surprise bicycle kick in the final episode reminded me of @PatrickIanni, the 2011 @SoundersFC, and my Soccer Dreams book come true. Thank you Arlo for being part of that journey.

It's another girl! Woodland Park Zoo just announced that Yola's mother, Nadiri, gave birth to her second baby on January 29. I'm sure Yola can't wait to show her younger half-sister how to grow up gorilla! #STEM #growingupgorilla #Lernerbooks #WaAuthors https://t.co/NDRSjIAzUW

You might be thinking about light right about now.
