Great news from the Children’s Book Council and Every Child a Reader.    The 2016 Children’s Book Week poster has been released and you can get a free copy!  You’ll also get lesson plans.  Children’s Book Week is May 2-8, but encouraging reading is a year round activity.   I’ll be participating in the event and featuring books from the 9th annual Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards, the only national book awards program where winning titles are selected by children and teens.  I copied this from the Children’s Book Week website, but you can link to the original site if you’d like.
