This book study is being lead and developed by a group of educators in partnership with conNECKtedTOO –> TINYisPOWERFUL. Hosts/facilitators rotate selecting one book to focus on with the option of highlighting a children’s book and lesson every other month that links students & classrooms together. While book choices and discussion questions are in some ways specific to educators, this book study will help facilitate greater awareness, healthier learning environments and will benefit children, households and communities. Participation is open to all.
