"It's about you, but it's not JUST about you." "You never know who needs to ready your story." "Vulnerability connects." "Who you are and what you've experienced holds inherent value." Ruth Chan @ohtruth at her @scbwi workshop So You Want to Write a Memoir #scbwisummer25

Every teacher knows a kid like this exuberant hippo who has to be first in line. Love how he takes the caboose news in stride and develops a new zest for being last in line. Cute pics ❤️variety of animals and their wardrobes! @100scopenotes @ohtruth @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

@devpetty @AmeDyckman For Women's History Month we are reading books from funny women authors. Thanks for writing books that make students laugh out loud. 🤪

We loved this GN in Y4-6 which follows @ohtruth's move from Toronto 'back' to Hong Kong. Dealing with topics of international moves, third culture kids, identity, family and well-being, this book really has something for everyone! @MacmillanUSA @EmilyFeinberg @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA
