@DeborahGrillo I love this book so much!!

Nothing short of life changing. This book is for everyone who wants to live more authentically into their own dreams and values, not just for those who consider themselves creative or artistic. I will read this again and again. #ASDWreads

@KelseyFlew Thanks very much Kelsey. We appreciate you being "with" us! #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk Thank you so much! I greatly enjoy every #shelfietalk and I'm looking forward to more in the future!❤️

Thanks so much for being with us tonight for our final chat of the year! Your conversation about The Words We Share warmed our hearts on this, oh so cool, May evening. We truly appreciate your love of books and ongoing support of #shelfietalk! ❤️📚

@HMazerolle Love this recommendation, Heather! #ShelfieTalk

A7 - Drawn together; it is on SORA and it is one we have shared together in my class. #shelfietalk

@melissa__walker ❤️

Q8 #shelfietalk

@SaraBeLong Excellent suggestion!

@ShelfieTalk A7 - If you loved The Words We Share, may I recommend When Stars Are Scattered. #shelfietalk

Q7 #shelfietalk

May we also recommend... #shelfietalk

@mrs_m_logan A fantastic suggestion! #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk If you loved The Words We Share, may I recommend The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi. It explores the experience of being new and learning to appreciate and share one's own name and heritage. #shelfietalk

@MrsCSoucy I love how you highlight the theme of showing up where we are able—a powerful takeaway for all readers! #ShelfieTalk

A6 ... by showing the ways people show up where they are able. The child shows up to translate for her whole community & the dad shows up by finding a job, and standing by the child in the tricky situation. Everyone wants the same – to understand and be understood. #shelfietalk

@HMazerolle @SaraBeLong That's what we love to hear, folks sharing #shelfietalk books with colleagues! #shelfietalk

@SaraBeLong @ShelfieTalk I shared the title with our EAL teacher! She is a gem and supports us as well as our students! #shelfietalk

Q4 #shelfietalk

@HMazerolle @IrmaMulherin Yes Heather, all of us needs to know that we matter. I can belong to a group but do I truly matter. #shelfietalk

@IrmaMulherin @ShelfieTalk It’s hard when anyone feels silenced and in a dark space. Speaking from experience. #shelfietalk
