What's New?

Another Sonderbooks Stand-out from my Newbery year, it's fitting that the picture book biography of a United States poet laureate should be in poetry form. Imagine, by Juan Felipe Herrera, illustrated by Lauren Castillo, tells the story of his life in a way that will inspire readers.
I'm posting a video series for the library this summer, Mathematical Colors and Codes! The final episode, Episode Six shows codes made with Binary numbers and finishes up with booktalks. Take a look!
Happy Reading!

“To give those librarians, who make it their life work to serve children's reading interests, an opportunity to encourage good writing in this field.”
