@JoKnowles Your work is important Jo. Keep writing the stories that kids need to read. Every child deserves to see themselves in a book.

@LindseyBoylan @agentemurph I agree 100%. I hope the representation in Congress gives them a strong voice to bring about important changes they need and deserve.

If you want to ski, says a friend, to his pal, think of pizza! Hands on your knees and slide on your snow pizza. The fun begins but watch out for bumps!#pbpitch

@DawnWrites Dawn, this quilt is just beautiful!

@smozer What do you do if a child asks or discusses this with friends? Kids are aware and their fears need to be addressed in some way. Silence will only stoke more fear.

@JeanWoodbury5 @drdonvu @edutopia @ScholasticEd @ILAToday @ncss @CRAreading It's important for more of these books be made available as there is a need for children to learn more about the diversity of the world.

@JeanWoodbury5 @ncte @aasl @drdonvu @stephen_briseno @UNICEF What a valuable book for today's world. Thinking of all the children touched by war and finding hope in reading poetry.

[Marilyn G. Salerno @mgsalwriter]

@JeanWoodbury5 @ncte @aasl @drdonvu @stephen_briseno @UNICEF Poetry is so important for children to read and practice in their creative writing. Using poetry gives children a special voice and experience using simplicity of words to express themselves.
