About the experience, they shared, "Just like the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte, this experience reminds us how powerful reading and community can be. We look forward to many more joyful moments as the story unfolds." Thank you reading and celebrating with us! (2/3)

That’s a wrap @readtothem on our 3 week One School One book of the Mouse and the Motorcycle. This classic didn’t disappoint and even my 5th grade panther family kiddos loved it. Big thanks to our principal @teach_katie for be willing to dive right in with us @madisond181

We had the opportunity to talk with Wallace about his artistic identity, the journey from draft to finalized character design, and his work on Dogtown. Read our interview with him here: readtothem.org/author-illustr… #kidlit #kidlitillustrator #oneschoolonebook

Illustrations by the phenomenal Wallace West are essential to fully realizing the world of "Dogtown," a beloved children's novel by Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko. @choldenko (1/2)
