The back-to-school issue of THE CHILDREN’S BOOK NOOK releases soon with resources to excite kids about reading. I think you’ll find it helpful, and subscribers help me in my work getting good books into kids’ hands. lesliesantamaria.com/ #kidlit #librarylife #teachers

Just left my local library, where dozens of kids (and their accompanying adults) waited in line for story time. Read, kids, read! It’s a gateway to knowledge, power, and empathy! And it’s so much fun! #reading #kidlit #literacy
