#KidLitMegaFeed #kidlit #picturebooks #JaneGoodall

As a reading specialist, I'd use Goodall's picture book, DR. WHITE, with 2nd graders--a true story about a dog who visited hospital patients. Students used higher level thinking skills to answer: Should dogs be allowed in hospitals? Why/why not?

Pat Zietlow Miller's new book, ONE CAN BE, celebrates the need to sometimes be alone and work alone...AND the need, at times, to collaborate. Kirkus's one-line tagline: "An empathetic tale that proves anyone can make a difference."

Writing a book with a good friend like @kaaauthor.bsky.social is a gift. Then seeing how that book resonates with kids? Can’t get better than this.

Thank you to everyone who has shared DOGTOWN loveβ€”and to every librarian, teacher, and caregiver who has put the book into readers' hands!

πŸŽ‰Another big milestone! We've passed $75K! πŸŽ‰

These donations are going to make such a big difference for people whose lives have been devastated by the fires. Thank you!

But we know we can raise even more to help the wildfire victims. Let's keep pushing toward our goal of $120,000! #kidlit
