When Jason Reynolds said that he wrote Look Both Ways with teachers in mind, he wasn’t lying. I have never taken so many notes while reading a YA book trying to capture all of the ways I could picture using it in my classroom, nor have so many characters carved their way into my heart […] via Look No Further- Review of Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds – Review by Amy Watkins — Nerdy Book Club

I’m a firm believer in learning about our world by learning about the people who have left their mark on it. The problem is that there are too many people that get overlooked. There are countless scientists, activists, writers, inventors, and dreamers that never get mentioned in a textbook. In second grade, we learn about […] via Ten Picture Book Biographies You Can’t Experience in a Textbook by Kirsten Leestma — Nerdy Book Club
