IMWAYR is a weekly blog hop with kid lit co-hosts Jennifer from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers. The original IMWAYR, with an adult literature focus, was started by Sheila at Book Journeys and is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. It’s a great way to share what you’re reading and get recommendations from others. We encourage you to write your own post sharing what you’re reading, link up, leave a comment, and support other IMWAYR bloggers by visiting and commenting on at least three of the other linked blogs each week.

Happy Labor Day! I’m catching up on some reading and reviews today, my day off. Reading truly is a labor of love for me, and I’m happy to share. I updated my Goodreads reviews for today’s titles. Check them out!

I love that there are so many different kinds of families, even those that don’t last forever, like a school class, camp friends, or a sports team. I also love that families are made up of all kinds of people. This book is a joyous celebration with wonderful illustrations and endpapers. A must-share title for back-to-school time.


Tracy at Publisher Spotlight sent me some excellent books. Thank you for sharing, @pubspotlight!




It’s Monday! What are YOU reading?
