Grades K – 8
​“All children deserve to fall in love with the power of the written word to transport them to new worlds and teach them new ideas, and to experience what writer Pat Mora has called bookjoy.  Yet too many children miss out on that opportunity.  In fact, far too many children cannot read at all.  The majority of all children in the United States and nearly three-quarters of our Black and Latino children can’t read at grade level.”
 
“This book shows how developing every child’s confidence, courage, and hope is vital for learning; showcases the transformational power of literacy in a child’s life; describes how to create the kinds of safe and supportive learning environments that exclude no child; promotes equity, opportunity, and the chance for every child to be heard; and, embraces multicultural children’s literature.“
