@elawreads Some elementary schools have Glee, a musical club or class for students. It’s a required special for 4th graders in the school where I work, almost like a weekly music class. And in some schools it’s an elective. Often concerts are involved.

Finally read this important & wonderfully written book by @KyleLukoff & @GavinGrimmVA with illustrations by J Yang — looking forward to sharing it with my kids. My oldest was lucky enough to have Kyle as a school librarian. I’m continually impressed by his words & work.

@lkutscera Such a visually stunning and important story!

Kirby had it easy.

Until he had to play.

If the display ball can let the fun of the fastest growing sport cushion his fears, Kirby might feel more like a teammate than a target.

Amy Wu X Hair Love

Oy! With Haman hair & glasses that magnify, Hadley might never fit in at her first Purim party. But the Jewish girl’s creativity might help her craft the perfect holiday costume to channel her identity in a big way!

Mookie wants to dazzle his half-sister, but his illusions flop, pulling the covers on a problem that affects millions of kids.

Let's put a funny, uplifting #PB on the shelf for them!

Daughter & dad have tandem surfed since beach grass tickled the child’s shoulders; now MC must ride waves independently or risk losing confidence bigger than the ocean.

Realistic fiction #PB inspired by my kids learning to surf complete with a surfing glossary.

Downcast with meds though can’t tear

@Jessicawhippl17 I think so! Now that my boys are elementary age, my go-to gift for their friends is a gift card to a local bookstore. Sometimes I add in a gift card for ice cream, too!
