Geeking out over this fascinating and GORGEOUS book!!! Someone freeze my bank account before I buy a copy for every #ESL #MLL #bilingual and #langauge #teacher I know! It even has a section on all of the sign languages in the world! It should be in every #library!

Just read a blog where the author said her go-to person for physical fitness is Dan Go. And I was like… She can’t mean Danny Go… CAN SHE??! Maybe she’s on to something?!
(Then I googled, and no, she did not mean Danny Go, sadly)
The #elementary #teachers will hear me 😂

I used to be a median American reader … Happy to say I’ve read about 20 #novels this year, and over 100 #picturebooks, and even started writing my own books (my #debut #PB comes out in 2026!). I’m grateful that over the past 10 years or so, I’ve rekindled the love for #books that I had as a kid

NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American.
