In 2012, Panda was found alone and emaciated on Mgeno Ranch, her mother almost certainly lost to poaching. In December 2025, she came home for the holidays — and brought her daughter with her. Her name is Panya. "Mouse" in Swahili. It suits her.

Congratulations on your well deserved recognition!
Thank you Operation Literacy for shining a bright light on the importance of reading & literacy & for celebrating the magic of stories! It was a privilege to be included in such a wonderful event and an honor to have my work recognized with the 2026 “Teen Book Hero Award.”

I check-in for my brain MRI at 3:45 pm today.
Can you help me raise the $75 I still need before then?
Anything extra will be directly applied to the bill for my Signatera tests, which insurance won't cover even though they're my lifeline right now.
Please share this for me! ❤️

I really think we don't talk enough about how the shift to standardized testing on digital platforms has changed so many dynamics in our classrooms—not just on testing days, either.

The Year 1 kids from Old Church Primary have had a busy week. Each child has had at least two sessions, working together in teams to create these four ‘giant insects’. I’ve been so impressed with them . . . Year 1 😮

The fact that I just said 'please use your indoor screams' to my kids really proves how much our standards drop with each additional child.
Hi Book Friends! I'm planning my very first European Vacation and I'm in need of bookish travel recommendations! I'll be traveling through Rome, Florence & Venice, with the hope of discovering some book shops & libraries to explore! I'd love to hear about some novel spots to visit during my holiday.
“If we want kids to become lifelong readers, then from a very young age we need to let them read what they want to read. And—this is crucial, too—remember to allow yourself to do the same. I cannot stress this enough.” —Ryan Bani Tahmaseb, Teacher-Librarian

With Ramadan starting yesterday, it's the perfect time to spotlight Almost Sunset by Wahab Algarmi. It's a really engaging and enjoyable graphic novel that gives readers an insight into the religious and cultural tradition. I loved the main character. Highly recommended for Y5/6.
Shaped entire generations
Gonna need people to support middle grade and YA titles bc where do we think adult readers come from!! If kids don’t have good books to read from like 8 - 12 they are going to stop reading 😭😭😭😭

I just read this last weekend! So good.
Yesterday I observed a second grade classroom as part of some consulting work I'm doing. I was really reminded of how incredible it is to watch teachers' brains process about eleventy billion different inputs at the same time. It's the same feeling you get watching the Olympics - master of the craft
