"You ought not to correct my splendid ways - for I am youth!" 

My name is Hannah. My students call me Morah (Hebrew for teacher) or just Ms. Grippo. I am a teacher by day, a reader by night. Sometimes it’s the other way around. I believe, since the first storytellers, that literature changes the world. I believe teachers can too.

This is not an online diary of education nor just a book review site, but a dream bridge of the two, and something else entirely!

I plan to explore my personal experiences with the passionate thoughts of many books written for (and sometimes by) kids or teens. That also includes some of the adult classics because they can be a lifeline for the young too.

So whether you’re reading to your 2 year old or you’re a 92 year old reading to yourself, come discover books that may just change your child’s life or the child’s life within you!
