New book in hand! I owe many thanks to so many friends and educators. Mostly, I owe everything to the kids I’m privileged to serve. The book is full of their faces and their potential. Thanks, too, to the incomparable team at @HeinemannPub !! I adore you all!
When @MrSchuReads asks you to sing opera for a free book, you sing opera!!! Thanks for the book talks and a copy The Word Collector by @peterhreynolds . Totally worth every note ♫🎶♫ #mrac2018
