@ChristineCaine @PropelWomen This was one of the most spirit-led conferences I have ever attached. I laughed, I cried I felt the Holy Spirit moving. Thank you for blessing our city!

[Christine Caine @ChristineCaine]

God moved. Lives were transformed. Salvation, healing, and breakthrough were in this place today @PropelWomen Activate. Richmond, thank you for a spectacular day! 💛

@JasonReynolds83 I just finished As Brave As You. Thank you for this story about these characters that I have fallen in love with. I sure hope they have more to say. I'm so glad Genie came clean about Michael Jackson. Thanks for naming those birds after J5. 😄

Met another teacher who’s buying books for her classroom at Goodwill. It makes me so angry. Why are teachers & librarians thrift shopping for books in 2019? Terrible educational system that relies on educators buying books for kids with their own funds! #bookaccessforall

[Donna Gizzarelli @EGESlibrary]

Great article. Now I need to go back and re-read all of them.

"Steig’s best books are not about monsters, but they contain the monstrous: the reality that adults understand we live in, the one we don’t want our children to know about."

What a thoughtful look at an absolute master of #kidlit. #WilliamSteig https://t.co/cDOg2M1vnu

Here's a clip from my opening keynote from ALA, in case you missed it! "ALA Annual 2019 - Jason Reynolds on Libraries Within Us https://t.co/ugnpmbeZgh via @YouTube"

[Donna Gizzarelli @EGESlibrary]

@JasonReynolds83 @YouTube Can't wait to "borrow" some of this when I talk to my kids in September. I might even show this to them. Thanks for being an advocate for us, for reading, and for writing high quality books that kids WANT to read!!

[Donna Gizzarelli @EGESlibrary]

This is such a great idea💡

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER SEEN IT DONE! Ahhhhh! I love this.

[Donna Gizzarelli @EGESlibrary]
