Have fun exploring the anchor of our new site, our Great Reads author gallery!
We know families and teachers are always looking for Great Reads for their kids, so we decided to ask some experts authors and illustrators who daily create their own books for kids to share their favorite reads. Some of our authors and illustrators are new to the childrens book world; some are experienced veterans. Some work with big, international publishers; some work with small publishers. All are committed to doing the best work they can for all of our children. They share their favorite Great Reads with joy, and in turn we hope you will take a look at their books, too!
Check out the photo gallery on the HOME page and visit our Great Reads Booklist page to see the complete list of all books that have been recommended by our Great Reads authors and illustrators. (To learn how you can recommend an author or illustrator for Great Reads, click here.)
Also be sure to check out our themed booklists, which include recommendations from expert librarians, as well as our recommendations of booklists created by other literacy and library organizations.

Bestpractices and grant writing options are included. The author argues for areturn to early 20th century civics education and details the traditional andpresent-day role of Americas libraries in developing a civic minded populace.School and public librarians are urged to utilize trade books and carefullyevaluated websites to integrate civics within educational and youth servicesofferings.The chapter for Grades 5-6 is devoted solely to activities based on the NCBLA's award-winning anthology OurWhite House: Looking In, Looking Out, providing discussion prompts,civic action, and civic service ideas (based in the AASL standards).

Poet Nikki Grimes
In honor of Poetry Month, the Horn Book's Robin Smith recently interviewed acclaimed poet for young people Nikki Grimes. Here is an excerpt:
QUESTION: As you travel and engage with children, how do you inspire in them an interest in reading and writing poetry?
ANSWER: That interest is already in them. Poetry is a huge part of their childhood, from the ABC song to jump-rope rhymes to Ring Around the Rosie. Stoking that interest only requires sharing poems with them to which they can relate. One whiff of poetry about the stuff of their own childhood, their own lives, and they are off and running. Once theyve gotten a good taste of poetry, just try and stop them from reading and writing it!
Read the entire interview here.
