As a school librarian, I've read many professional books about reading programs and school initiatives, but The Whole-School Community Read truly stands out. It takes a big idea and makes it feel completely doable, with clear steps and helpful advice every step of the way. The real-world examples, ready-to-use templates, and focus on inclusivity make it both meaningful and easy to implement. Even as our world grows more fast-paced and tech-driven, this book reminds us of the timeless power of stories to unite, inspire, and connect us. Award-winning school librarian Margaux DelGuidice-Calemmo and social studies coordinator Jeannette Balantic bring both heart and firsthand experience to every page. This is a resource I'll be recommending often.
