For Teachers & Librarians

Dear Teachers and Librarians:

Y'all are my heroes--for all you do for your students to instill knowledge, critical thinking, and a love of reading, communicating, and learning.  All are so vital to their own lives and happiness, but also to the state of humankind.  Thank you for graciously championing my historical/biographical works, including them in your curriculum, state lists, Battle of the Books competitions and for the many invitations to speak at your schools.  Those visits have brought me such joy and, often, ideas for new works.  I always learn from you and from them. ​

​I've created landing pages for each book (see pull down tab BOOKS), with contextualizing essays on their time period, mini-bios of real-life players, historical resources for readers who want to learn more.  Also included there are awards, trailers, video book chats, panel talks etc. HERE I've posted things for you--knowing how wildly busy you already are.  Lesson plans, discussion guides, articles about teaching historical fiction. If you​'d like me ​to talk with your students, please go to Appearances.

​And for those who use it: TeachingBooks has ​a comprehensive listing of educational resources for all my works​.
