Teachers College Reading & Writing Project’s Book of the Month

September 15, 2015 By Laura

Teachers College Reading & Writing Project (TCRWP) has a post encouraging schools to institute a Book of the Month program —basically a picture book all-school read. And TCRWP lists a few books for your school to consider, including Firefly July, selected by Paul Janeczko, The Adventures of Beekle, by Dan Santat, Water Can Be…, by Laura Purdie Salas (me), The Right Word by Jen Bryant, and I Wish You More by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Honored to be recommended and part of this great group of books!

LION OF THE SKY was named a Best Poetry Picture Book of the Year by Kirkus. Whee!

And SNOWMAN-COLD=PUDDLE made the New York Public Library's list of Best Books for Kids! Most children's writers, including me, do not get rich or famous writing books. And that's okay! Recognition from book lovers, reviewers, and librarians can help us get through the days we wonder if we should have been an accountant, after all. (No. We should not!)

And I had a terrific time at #NCTE19 sharing with and learning from so many amazing educators, writers, and editors. You can see my photo album here!

And now...back to some actual writing. With all my travel the past two months, I've fallen way behind. Happy holidays, everyone!
