    ✨NEW PAST PRESENT EPISODE -- Perfect for English & History lessons!✨
    📚 Reading and writing are our favorite things to do -- same for Newbery Honor author Lesa Cline-Ransome. So, imagine if it were against the law to read a book and you could go to jail for writing a story. You might think that's impossible, but it's a part of America's history that Lesa explores in this episode of Past Present through her non-fiction picture book, FREEDOM TO READ: The Story of Teacher Mary Peake and One Mighty Oak Tree, illustrated by ALA Children’s Literature Legacy Award-winner James Ransome. 🌳
    🎬 Watch here to learn how one brave woman risked it all to give Black children in Virginia the gift of education 👉 www.kidlit.tv/PastPresentFREEDOMTOREAD

    🍎📚 Teachers & librarians, here are TWO Back-to-School book ideas from our friends Highlights for Children!

    💡 Here's one to bookmark for when YOU need twenty minutes of CALM, and YOUR CLASS wants twenty minutes of FUN:
    ✏️ HOW TO DRAW HIDDEN PICTURES by Jannie Ho -- Kids don't just solve puzzles; they learn to CREATE their own just like the classic Hidden Picture puzzles in Highlights! Kids get easy step-by-step instructions for how to draw adorable characters and hide objects inside them. Educators get first- and second-graders thinking about composition & negative space!

    💡 And here's one for a rainy day break-time:
    🕵️ CAN YOU FIND STEVE? A search-&-find...that's also a story...AND scavenger hunt? This laugh-out-loud interactive story about unexpected friendships is packed with puzzles AND comes with five mini Steves to hide around the room. 🦆
