I was thrilled to be able to bring #classroombookaday to NCTE this year, especially with some amazing educators who discussed their different angles on how they have implemented it at their schools at roundtables, paired with incredible authors/illustrators talking about the value of picture books for all ages. Although I can’t recreate those conversations for you, I can at least share the slides I used for my 20 minute origin story and overview of #classroombookaday, with some of our joint book recommendations at the end.
