I can’t believe it was only a few days ago that Kwame Alexander was here in Shanghai, dazzling us with his Poetic Skills. Students loved seeing Kwame on stage, where he performed his poetry and told his stories, and many of them have been inspired to write by meeting the Newbery Winner up close and personal.

Thanks for the Memories and Congratulations on Booked, I loved it, and can’t wait to share it with the kids once it comes out TODAY, April 5th.
