Welcome to this special, 51st episode of “This One’s Dedicated to…,” in which Jennifer Ziegler and I share our longer-than-usual conversation with educator and author Donalyn Miller (The Book Whisperer, Reading in the Wild, Game Changer!) about the dedications that she and the late Teri Lesesne wrote for their collaboration, The Joy of Reading (Heinemann, 2022).
Subscribers to my monthly Bartography Express newsletter (folks can sign up here) are eligible to win one of four signed copies of The Joy of Reading, a passionate guide for families, educators, and librarians.
If you’d like one of those winners to be you, by the end of October 2023 either say so in the comments below or email me directly, and you’ll be in the running. (U.S. mailing addresses only.)
Thanks for watching, and please visit the main “This One’s Dedicated to…” page to enjoy more of these conversations!
What an emotional and sweet interview. Reading is a JOY. A child making a connection with a book is a wonderful thing. I hope lots of teachers have the opportunity to watch this interview! I would love to enter the contest for an autograph book.
Teri was one of my professors when I was getting my Masters degree through SHSU. She was such an asset to the library and reading world and is missed by many. This book is on my TBR list and I would love to win a copy.
Love to own a copy! I ordered for my library and then retired before I could read it!
Oh Chris and Jenny, this one is a gem. You two. Donalyn. Teri. The subject. I would be honored to have a copy on my shelf.
I’d love a chance to win a copy!
What a wonderful giveaway! I’m excited to be a new subscriber!
Debra, Tamara, Terry, Lindsey, Keith, and Julie, you’re all now officially in the running — good luck!
