Hi teachers & friends! To celebrate the upcoming release of my 25th book, I am giving away 2500 copies of I Survived the Dust Bowl over the next 10 days. Today: 10 class sets of 25. To enter, like this post & retweet. Winners announced tomorrow am. ❤️

One of the most positively influential thinkers of the literacy and education worlds has passed away. Kylene Beers was courageous, compassionate, insightful, collegial, and scholarly. I was able to talk with her occasionally, amazed at her humanity and wit each time. Her books line my shelves, her words make up significant portions of my literacy DNA. She will be treasured for decades and decades.
