Hello, all you students, parents, and educators now doing your work from home!

I’m pleased to share this collection of resources — discussion and activity guides, publishers’ guidelines, eBook availability, etc. — for books of mine ranging from my 2020-21 Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List title What Do You Do with a Voice Like That? to my newly published Fire Truck vs. Dragon and All of a Sudden and Forever all the way back to Shark vs. Train and The Day-Glo Brothers.

Should vital new materials become available, I’ll add those here. If there are other resources or additional information from me that would be helpful, please let me know in the comments below.
