pick#Bibliophile Day 13: This #NewberyWinner is a book about sisters, about the journeys we take to find ‘home‘ (only to discover it within ourselves); it is also about grief and loss and the glittering skies that provide a shining cushion against darkness and pain and overwhelming loneliness.

pickI‘ve read this book so many times over the years. It‘s one of the only books to make me ugly cry 😭
pickKira Kira is a touching Newberry winning story about a family who moved from a Japanese community to Georgia and all of the struggles they face. This book won a newberry award and I think this book will be relatable for kids who are new to a town and feel like they don't fit in. I would use EL 3: "Encourage self talk" so that students can talk about how they relate to this story. TS-IR
My current commute #audiobook is one I missed in elementary school somehow.
What books have you read as an a adult that you missed out on as a kid?
A book that makes me so thankful to my sister and friends. #cynthiakadohata #middlegrade #historicalfiction #litsygram #diversebooks #coverlove #wndb #mgbooktober
Some books on my shelves that made me cry. Then again I tear up at TV shows, movies, ads, airports.... 😭😭#somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #booksthatmademecry
pickJust read this for the kids book club that I run at work and I cannot recommend it enough. It gets all the points for diversity, intelligent writing, and SO MANY FEELS. I don't care how old you are. Read it.
