Love it! There’s a lot of overlap between #HANDS & #WomanKing. Wonder if readers could guess who @violadavis would be in Hands. And the cast of female warriors here would be who in Hands? @JohnBoyega obviously is Trevor.
Today's #Amazon delivery has me very excited! Congratulations again to @TorreyMaldonado on your publication day for HANDS 🥳 On this day, I've been blessed with a double dose of awesome!! #HANDS #WomanKing #MGLit

“It takes a village” to raise a book. Just now looked at Amazon. #1 New Release! THANK YOU! to everyone in the village raising voices and awareness about Hands.

On Air With Zoe Washington by @JanaeMarksBooks is a fabulous follow-up book. Zoe will inspire readers as she follows her dreams, creatively solves her problems, and demonstrates compassion. @Teacher_AWebb @MsSauerReads @lauramossa #bookexcursion

2022 was a good year for Nikki Grimes, who just published her 103rd book | @NPR pwne.ws/3hNZ9EB
My Furry Foster Family by @DebbiMichiko is a series that keeps getting checked out. A 1st grader sparked the interest, & it has since spread to my 2nd & 3rd grade readers. One student was getting a bearded dragon for her birthday & was excited to read Betty the Bearded Dragon.
My students can't get enough of Ryan Hart. These books by @reneewauthor are never on my shelves because they are always checked out. The buzz over them is so exciting. No doubt I will be adding Ways to Share Joy to our collection at @SouthDavisK5
I love the Ryan Hart books as much as my kids do, but my favorite book by @reneewauthor has got to be Piecing Me Together. Listening to the audiobook felt like catching up with a friend. I think I might listen to it again over Christmas break.
We've got a whole blizzard happening right now in the 716, so I'm just going to tweet about my favorite book creators and then cozy up with a good read. #WinterStorm #Buffalo
This post by @WitandGraceMag on @reneewauthor was such a joy to read. witandgracemag.com/fashion-m…
