Teacher Guides

As a writer of nonfiction one of my biggest wishes is that the stories I tell encourage students to be curious and concerned with the world around them. 


Below are several ideas for how teachers can use my titles in the classroom. 

If you are a teacher and have developed materials based on one of my books, I would love to hear from you. I'd be delighted to add your ideas  to this list for other teachers to use!
