At ALAN @kwamembalia.bsky.social said, “Before I was a writer, I was a reader.” Such a succinct reminder that supporting our students’ reading lives is important work. Reading & writing are so intrinsically linked & our kids need time to read widely so they can write powerfully. #ALAN24 #EduSky

#NCTE24 + ALAN Reflections and Takeaways

Excited I got a copy of David Anthony’s The Longest Egypt! My @rickriordan.bsky.social readers will love it. Hoping I have Flora Ahn’s A Brush of Magic (Korean mythology-inspired). Kids love all mythos! #ALAN24 @leeandlow.bsky.social @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social @penguinschoollib.bsky.social

As much as I like to pretend I am not a huge nerd, I am. And asking @scottmccloud.bsky.social “what’s up with the green plaid jacket” and trying to make a joke about their names (RAINa and mcCLOUD @goraina.bsky.social further solidifies how much of one I am 😂 So fun though!! #ALAN24

I’m presenting this talk about the importance of teachers reading queer MG/YA books, even if they can’t use them in their classrooms. It centers two of my favorite things: reading in community & powerful literature. #EduSky #NCTE24 #ALAN24

ALAN day 2 keynote made me cry. Thank you @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social for speaking about how resilient stories are, how books get banned, but those stories can’t be erased. I’m going back to my work with your reminder that “teaching empathy is an act of resistance.” #ALAN24 #EduSky

My favorite waiting-for-the-flight activity is looking for friends' books at the airport bookstore. This afternoon I spotted @traceybaptiste.bsky.social, @joannelevy.bsky.social, & @marissameyer.bsky.social at Logan on my way home from #NCTE24/#ALAN24!

History is always relevant. It’s unfortunate that we keep treading these same paths, but thank god we always have families who love each other.

I think one of my favorite moments of #ALAN24 is meeting and chatting with @yesimhotinthis.bsky.social She came to the AsianAm gathering at #NCTE24 and I discovered that she’s funny and lovely. Love when authors are as amazing as their books.
