BOOK NEWS
In case you missed it, this is the first cover of a new pick-your-path series I’m coauthoring with the amazing friend who got me into children’s publishing, Andrea Menotti! It’s been a blast to revisit this format and to offer readers a chance to go on thrilling adventures where they get to determine what happens next, with one of the most fun things to imagine: having a superpower!
Are you a hero or a villain? Pick your path in this action-packed, illustrated origin story where the reader – yes, that means YOU! – gets the power of flight and must decide, choice by choice, whether to use their abilities for good or evil.
Book one releases May 3, 2022, and is available for pre-order now! I hope you will share it with the readers in your life!
RESOURCES
Did you know that 50 percent of American Muslim children face bullying and harassment at school because of their faith? We can all do our part to understand this problem and help to fight against the harmful effects of this trend. Check out this incredible educator toolkit from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding for a variety of helpful resources including handouts, videos, and data.
WHAT I’M READING
I’ve had a copy of Jasmine Warga’s The Shape of Thunder for a while now, waiting for the right moment to treat myself to it. Other Words for Home is my favorite book from recent years and because I read that too quickly the first time around, I’m trying to savor this one as slowly as I can and try to linger in the beauty of Jasmine’s deeply moving writing. Have you read it yet? What did you think?
REMINDER
You can find downloadable posters, discussion guides, student artwork, and tons of videos on my new website!
