The beginnings of a new professional journey to share one of my biggest passions- stories & the power behind them. How do we connect as humans? By sharing our stories. How do we connect when we are challenged? By reaching for stories. My goal here is to share book reviews, mostly YA, with some adult fiction and the occasional picture book. As a new teacher-librarian, I'm constantly looking for instructional/collaborative solutions, literacy in all its forms, and ways to connect with students.
