Thrilled to explore Easy Readers and share the knowledge I’ve been honing since serving on the 2018 Geisel Award- Thanks, @HornBook, for the opportunity!

From the March/April 2019 #HBMag: In her "New for New Readers" column entry, @sylvie_shaffer asks, "What IS an easy reader? Should we even call them that? And why are good ones so hard to find?" https://t.co/coJYiN6ziD

[sylvie shaffer @sylvie_shaffer]

@GSarafan It really was magical. Sigh.

Hey @thegridkid one eats pomegranate ARILS, not seeds. I have been ranting about this with my wife for several minutes and now it’s escalated to online ranting. On this hellsite! But it’s ARILS and I must be pedantic about it. #nytimes #puzzles @NYTGames

@navybluemosk Do you have meal support set up? Would a meal train be helpful? Lemme know. Will be thinking of your family this week.

I am grateful that my Oma & Opa were among the 10% of surviving German Jews, that my Bubbie was among the 7% surviving Lithuanian Jews, and my Zaidie was among the 10% surviving Polish Jews. #holocaustremembranceday #yomhashoah Graphic via Uri L’Tzedek

@shgmclicious The case for rage was already on my personal summer reading list - I’ll keep the other titles in mind, too, thanks!

@GSarafan @AbramsonFL I saw them on the first Warped tour in August 95. Wore my 40oz cassette tape out.

[sylvie shaffer @sylvie_shaffer]

First time I heard 40oz was on the drive from Allston to Highgate to see Dylan & The Dead. Only studio album in handful of bootleg cassettes, which sound bad on shitty blown out speakers. Didn’t have a license so I sat bitch middle seat. Allston MA, 95 = ska. Loved it then, now.

[Greg Sarafan™ @GSarafan]

Listening to 40oz. To Freedom just bc I don't think I have ever listened straight through. This album is kinda boring 😴

@seejesswrite Ashley Herring Blake’s Trilogy - the first one is “Delilah Green Doesn’t Care” … quippy, funny & hot

@spooloflies @remreader93 also like they don't even warn you that it's covered in coconut flakes - they're not in the description! https://t.co/BdnrOWU2kQ

@Jarrett_Lerner Under the Egg and The Gallery by Laura Marx Fitzgerald

[sylvie shaffer @sylvie_shaffer]

@KyleLukoff I hate this. We were so lucky to partner with some other area schools to host him for an author visit last year and he was unsurprisingly SO FANTASIC! Great speaker, had kids super engaged, and love his books, too. Ugh.

@AprilBerryBooks If You Come to Earth by Sophie Blackall, The Jolly Postman by the Ahlbergs

[sylvie shaffer @sylvie_shaffer]

@spooloflies This is an incredibly important distinction- I would push even further than exceptionalizing Jews as victims endangers not only us, but other marginalized groups as well.
