Good Morning and Happy New Year!!

Jenny and I are working on putting together the schedule of authors/illustrators for this year's World Read Aloud Day on Feb. 2nd. 

We had a couple of questions we wanted to throw out there. Take a minute to complete this brief google form to help us plan it in a way that meets the needs of the most people out there:) 

So far, we have the following authors who have accepted our invite:
Leslie Connor
Reem Faruqi
Heather Clark
Nancy Tandon
Chandra Prasad

Thanks and have a great week--I know things are rough everywhere but WRAD is something to look forward to. We all need things to look forward too!!

Melissa and Jenny
