You know what I liked best about this book? I didn't know where it was going. I wasn't sure what decisions the characters would make or if things would work out. At points, I wasn't even sure what "work out" meant for these characters.
While I wish I could say that burnout can be solved by writing a book, it can’t. But it was a good start and helped me realize how much I love education and teaching. It helped me find my way back to what I love.
During the middle school years, kids are in different phases of development, navigating puberty, exploring their identities, and transitioning from childhood into young adulthood. To say a lot is going on would be an understatement.
Books by XiXi Tian, Gavin Grimm, Rosaria Munda, Misty Wilson, Pete Hautman, Neal Shusterman, and so many more!
Traditional educational methods taught me that my mind didn't work like everyone else's. But poetry helped me realize that was a beautiful thing.
Post-it Note Reviews are a great way to display books in your library or classroom, a way to let kids recommend their favorite titles without having to get up in front of everyone and do a book talk, and an easy way to offer a more personal recommendation than just the flap copy offers.
Within BEATING HEART BABY, performances serve as checkpoints for the characters’ internal worlds and showcases for my version/vision of music writing. The roar of an audience cheering for you; the ozonic tang in the air as you prepare to (p)lay your heart on a stage.

It's my hope that Repairing the World, a book ostensibly about grief and healing, will also be a place for Jewish kids (Reconstructionist or not) to see themselves in a story. I want to illustrate how normal it is for kids to have help managing their mental health. And, that grownups and kids can be queer or questioning and it’s just part of life. It doesn’t have to be a big deal.
