Somehow this entire year has gotten away from me since March 13. So I’m working to catch up on a few posts with things I haven’t shared yet. Because even if they happened over a month ago, they are still relevant.
To kick off the new school year, I partnered with Penguin Classroom to do a #ClassroomBookADay Facebook Live celebrating DANBI LEADS THE SCHOOL PARADE
by chatting with author/illustrator Anna Kim
about her absolutely gorgeous and touching debut picture book.
I completely adored Danbi the instant I read her story, so much so that I chose it as a #cbadSpotlight pick for September 2020. It is a perfect back-to-school book since it takes place on Danbi’s first day at a new school in America, but it is also a universal story about being accepted as the new kid, especially one learning a new culture.
If you have not yet read it, don’t wait to order your copy at Bookshop to support independent bookstores! Enjoy this video of my chat the gracious Anna.
