Once they get past the cover, most boys enjoyed reading the "girl" books. One year during a author research project, one guy chose to be in a group with some friends who were girls. They chose (and drug him along) to study Lurlene McDaniel. THe guy was popular and withstood some teasing at first, but once he got into the books, he enjoyed them and recommended them.

So sad that this is still a reality in 2016. Hopefully projects like this will help change the next generation of minds.

I prefer hardback books too, but paperbacks last for a while since the kids don't usually take them home. They have book boxes in the classroom for independent reading, and so they're not exposed to the elements as much. I was relieved that central Ohio didn't even get a flake of the huge storm! Hope you have an awesome week!Jana The Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904621400925950938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-67781033319453083422016-01-25T18:54:46.775-05:002016-01-25T18:54:46.775-05:00I love this line "This is exactly what the We...I love this line "This is exactly what the We Need Diverse Books movement has been waiting for-- books about diverse characters that are not about diversity" I agree so much with this sentiment. Here in Vancouver on the west coast we rarely ever get more than a skiff of snow and I can't remember, if ever, school was cancelled because of it. There is hardly anything better than a really good middle grade novel and so I'm looking forward to Sit, Stay, Love.

She's not a toddler, but nearly five, but Henry Wants More sounds like my youngest granddaughter, never stopping. Fun that someone actually wrote a book about this, plus wonderful to see diverse children, good for everyone.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-20834739483750675552016-01-25T14:37:22.177-05:002016-01-25T14:37:22.177-05:00It's Punxsutawney Phil and he has his own face...It's Punxsutawney Phil and he has his own facebook page, naturally: https://www.facebook.com/punxsyphil.innercircle/<br /><br />The schools here are closed today AND tomorrow.
