Thank-O-Rama! from Mo Willems @The_Pigeon promotes this website where Mo Willems shares how you can thank those that are important in your life! His last and final book, titled The Thank You Book is the 25th book in the Elephant and Piggie series. In honor of Mother's Day and the month of May, I think Thank-O-Rama is a great idea! Check out the spinner, the how to draw Piggie with Mo video and printable pages.
Gene Luen Yang is the 2016 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature and honorary chair of National Library Week 2016. The article, "Newsmaker: Gene Luen Yang The comic book writer and artist discusses his work and new national literacy appointments" shares more about him, and his interview of how comics/graphic novels impacted his youth and the importance of comics/graphic novels in libraries today. His comment, "Comics can be a gateway into reading" is powerful and really exemplifies how Graphic Novels in the Classroom is important to consider as a bridge to help students in our district become life long readers.
