Teacher • Mother • Bookworm
I have been in education for over a decade. I love teaching, and I love books, but it wasn’t until I received my Master’s that I understood how to bring those two passions together in a powerful way. After working through my Master’s program and writing my thesis on how to teach children’s literature, I decided to create a series of book guides to provide tools for other teachers and parents who desire to deeply connect with the children they interact with through great literature. My book guides provide thoughtful questions, compelling frameworks, and unique strategies that help bring out the best of children’s literature. When used with the book, the guide will communicate to the child that you believe in them and who they will become. It will equip them with the intellectual, emotional, and social skills needed in order to thoughtfully and successfully navigate relationships and new circumstances.
