The retellings display I created for autumn has generated some good conversation in the library. Sometimes I don't know what I would do without @canva!

'Thirst' by @varshabajaj is an excellent middle grades novel. I have been thinking of the many ways that it could be used to support the teaching and learning around water scarcity and #GlobalGoals. 'Thirst' would make an excellent read aloud or book club option. #Goal6 #SDG6

My #Books2Eat was inspired by @dbhiguera's The Last Cuentista. Imagine sleeping for 380 years, waking up and this is the only thing you eat, nutritious “bioloaf” and mood-altering tonic. Bioloaf is described as what would occur if, "kale, hay, prunes and vinegar had a baby.

Do you ever read a bunch of books by the same author and feel like they get you? For me, it's @AmeDyckman I am a bit late to the game with 'Dandy' but the timing was perfect. It's almost dandelion season.
