I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

A school year of reading aloud to kids is quite the journey. (+ picture book giveaway)

This week our reading curriculum has us reading about the 1925 Serum Race, so I had to bust out this amazing picture book to read aloud toy 5th graders. It is a little longer than most picture books I read aloud to them, but they were completely captivated.

I loved Coach. A beautiful addition to Jason Reynolds’s Track series. Pretty wild twist, that I did not see coming, in this one. Young readers are so lucky to have this book enter the world. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

If you haven’t read Dinosaurs in Space aloud to kids, you haven’t really even read it. Oh my goodness. Such a riot! My 5th graders were dying. 😂
