Don't miss this fantastic new resource for educators: ENDURING QUESTIONS: USING JEWISH CHILDREN'S LITERATURE IN CLASSROOMS by David Bloome, Evelyn Freeman, Rosemary Horowitz & Laurie Katz. As we face rising anti-Semitism, it's so helpful to have resources like this to guide us.

So fun to host the #CoverReveal of WELCOME TO MONSTERVILLE by Laura Shovan, with irresistible, zany monster poems all illustrated by Michael Rothenberg. Coming in April https://t.co/IsbQa5l5Od

Exactly! Poetry is for everyone and teachers who teach writing can be models for their students! More soon...

[janetwong @janetwongauthor]

In 2023 @SylviaVardell and I will be offering a special workshop for teachers for THIS ⬇️ very reason: we want more teachers to be able to celebrate their own writing w/students. Stay tuned for details in the spring! #poetryforall
