When was the first time you fell in love with a book? Was it the first story you read on your own, or the first time you really understood a character? Did you want to step right into that story, again and again, and share it with all of your friends? On March 13, 2020, as our school closed for what we expected to be a two-week Covid-19 closure, I dropped books into my students' backpacks, encouraging them to borrow whatever they would read in those two weeks, fully expecting that most would return by the end of the year. As we know now, most of those books actually aren't coming back to my classroom. I created this project to re-stock my classroom library with books that I know my students will love. Many of these titles are ones I borrowed from my local library to share with my students last year. Others showcase racially diverse authors and characters that I know will resonate with my readers!
