I write stories to promote #kindness #empathy #compassion #inclusion in the classsroom & beyond. Trying to make a difference in kids' lives, one book at a time.

[Reading to Kids @readingtokids]

Our "Back to School Fun" reading clubs are this Saturday!

K-2nd grade will explore inclusion and first-day stories with a twist! These book show that school nerves are normal and kindness helps everyone belong 💙📚

Hundreds of naked bike riders have now joined the protest in front of the ICE Facility and now there’s a massive turnout of people here. Portland PD has issued multiple warnings asking protesters to clear the road or they would be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions

7th grade English lesson about inclusivity and empathy, encouraging students to 'leave no one behind'. We also discussed the idea of walking a mile in someone else’s shoes. Amazing lesson! “The Invisible Boy.”📚@nelsonjh_hawks @TrudyLudwig #NJH #nelson #NJHawks @katyisd

@stmargaretsoldh I’m so happy to know that The Invisible Boy was used as a teaching tool to promote #kindness !❤️ A great follow-up to that one is my story THE POWER OF ONE: Every Act of Kindness Counts

[St Margaret's C of E @stmargaretsoldh]

Last half term in worship, we thought about openness. We used the story of ‘The Invisible Boy’ by @TrudyLudwig to explore how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. The story inspired us to try to be someone who makes others feel included. #empathy #APlacetoBECOME

What if… I can’t… I’m scared… The main character in our next SMART Book Award nominee worries a lot. But when a friend needs help being brave, she realizes “her heart is bigger than her fears.”

Check out "Brave Every Day" by @TrudyLudwig and let us know what you think!

Happy READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY! Choosing a story to read isn't always easy, but for this day, I decided to read a #picturebook that celebrates kindness & the power of one. THE POWER OF ONE: EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS COUNTS, crafted by esteemed anti-bullying expert author @TrudyLudwig and award-winning illustrator Mike Curato, is a simple yet powerful tale that demonstrates how one person alone can change the world for the better. https://t.co/Dmxialxbuo

THE POWER OF ONE shows us that even the smallest kind act can lead to a waterfall of kindness & inspire a community to come together to spread joy & love. HAPPY #ReadAcrossAmericaDay! Watch my #read aloud here➡️ https://t.co/Dmxialxbuo
