Eleven schools on WRAD23. The 2 in Texas were snowed out (stay safe and warm my friends) and one school was late, but by luck that coincided with a snowed out school, so all good. In addition to Winterkill I talked about Sylvia McNicoll’s What the Dog Knows and Adrian Lysenko’ s Five Stalks of Grain, and then showed the best nonfiction written about the Holodomor, Anne Applebalm’s Red Famine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educator feedback: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you for reading aloud to my fifth and sixth graders today. It was fabulous. We now have a waiting list for Making Bombs for Hitle<\/em>r and for Winterkill.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you so much for Zooming with us this morning. The excerpt you read was powerful and I anticipate Winterkill being checked out for the foreseeable future! Thank you for shining a light on this lesser known piece of history.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We enjoyed hearing you read from Winterkill and learning so much about your writing process.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks again for visiting with us! Every single one of your books that I have are checked out to students now! Success!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
