Just finished an advanced reader’s copy of Carter Avery’s Tricky Fourth Grade Year by @RobBuyea. What a lovely, lovely story. Inspiring characters all around. Can’t wait to share it will students and colleagues alike. #netgalley
Thanks to @NetGalley read an advanced reader’s copy of The Frindle Files by Andrew Clements (written prior to his death and later polished by his family). So good. Can’t wait to share with the kids in September.
When a favorite author’s new book comes out on your wife’s birthday, gift giving is a breeze. Happy birthday @SuannIngle and happy book birthday @cpooleywriter. And if you’re a friend with a birthday coming up, well here’s a hint of what you’ll be getting…
Happy book birthday @valerie_bolling I picked up my copy from @barrett_books on my way home from work!
I am very late to the party but The Midnight Library @matthaig1 is amazing. Listening to it and I am totally engrossed.
Picked up Orris and Timble by @KateDiCamillo on my way home Tuesday. Shared it with a 1st grade today. I loved it. They loved it. We all agree: new book friends are the best.
I am so excited for this!
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix just boarded a buzzy one. The streamer has joined ‘The Thursday Murder Club,’ the Chris Columbus-directed feature adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestselling novel deadline.com/2024/04/netflix…
Read a copy of this last week when @valerie_bolling did an author visit at school. This book should be on every bookshelf both at home and in schools.
Here's a great opportunity to pre-order #ISeeColor!

Got a sneak peak of this thanks to @NetGalley and LOVED it. Can’t get to Barnes and Noble? Hit up your local independent bookstore. You won’t be disappointed.
Stopped by Rowayton Library today and was happy to see a @valerie_bolling title on display (with two more on the shelf).
Pre ordered two books from @barrett_books this week: I See Color co-written by my friend @valerie_bolling and How to Age Disgracefully by @cpooleywriter. Excited to share and talk about both in June.
A great day! Thanks @valerie_bolling and @northmianuspta for making it happen!
I had a wonderful visit yesterday at North Mianus School in @GPSDistrict, the school district in which I was an educator for 30 years.
Thank you, @NMSCTP, @northmianuspta, and @acinthemc for welcoming me so warmly. It was a fabulous day; I hope the students enjoyed it, too. 😊

Thanks to @NetGalley I read an advanced reader's copy of Finally Heard by @kellyyanghk. Wow. There are so many stepping off points for conversation about social media & the role it plays in our lives. I'm looking forward to getting it on our shelves & talking to kids about it.
I love this, too. Homeruns, both!
Thank you, @Scholastic #Storyworks, for publishing my poems about #JackieRobinson in your magazine for Grade 1 students.

Great fun all around. Need to find time for more!
4th graders are experts about what motivated people to move west! Students created time capsules, scrapbooks, board games, post cards or wrote songs to demonstrate their learning. Checkout some of their impressive work! Thanks @acinthemc for collaborating with our team!
