WSRA Families and Literacy Committee Presents… Calendar of Reading Suggestions for September 2020 Celebrating Diversity Through Literacy Hispanic Heritage Month 9/15 through 10/15
“Books are sometimes w indows, offering views of worlds that may be real or imagined, familiar or strange. These w indows are also s liding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created or recreated by the author. --Rudine Sims Bishop
