I’m honored Louder Than Hunger is on display at Unabridged Bookstore, especially because there is a scene that takes place inside the bookstore.

One of my driving questions for the past 15 years has been a simple one; at the end of the day, would I like being a student in my own classroom? And as I have one month left of school, I feel the question pressing in on me as I think of next year and both the joy of continuing with my current class, as well as becoming the classroom teacher for a different class.

Often we think of the creation of reading structures, routines, and rules.
But what if we also considered reading opportunities?
What opportunities would children like to have?
Which opportunities can we also create?
Why do opportunities help us consider new ways we can create reading joy?

Hope laced up her boots
this morning,
grabbed her sign
and marched down Main Streets
from coast to coast,
to drown out every vestige
of despair, distress, and fear
by shouting
louder than loud:
I. AM. HERE.

I live in a country where book bans have been prohibited since 1849.
And yet, the rise of book bans in America and the incredible impact it is having, is something I spend a lot of time thinking about, discussing, and fighting against. Why do I care when I am across an ocean?
