Just finished reading Same Page by @ellyswartzbooks.bsky.social to both my 4th & 5th grade AE classes. Big hit! So many thoughtful conversations about banning books. Began Dodger and Me by Jordan Sonnenblick w/4th & Busted by @dangemeinhart.bsky.social w/5th. Both classes--hooked! #EduSky #readaloud
Wow!

Honored that you loved my story. That you connected with its heart and its surprising twists.
With heaps of gratitude and so much respect, thank you, my friend!

Happy Monday! Today marks the seventh time Elly Swartz has stopped by Watch. Connect. Read. to finish my sentences! We discussed Almost True...
Dear Reader,
We wrote a middle-grade book together!!! A story that is filled with things we love and care about. A story with secrets, but also with lots of light. A story we wrote in a very unique way.
Love, Jasmine Warga and John Schu www.instagram.com/p/DVKLw87jlW...
