The Thing About Books


The thing about books is they will take us anywhere,
     the woods, the mountains, the sea.
Reading carries me around the world, 
     to any place I imagine I want to be. 
Mrs. Sawyer, 2020

We have been practicing social distance now for over a week, and people everywhere are remembering the power of reading. We read because it is FUN, we read to imagine, and we read to explore! I hope you're reading anything and everything you can: novels, picture books, graphic novels, poetry and online resources. Everything you pick up will take you new places, introduce you to interesting characters, and teach you amazing facts.


Always keep a stack of books so you never run out, and if you want to book chat with me, please reach out! I would love for you to share your book love with me! (stacey.sawyer@gorhamschools.org) 

Nothing is better than reading with your family, but below I've shared a few of my favorite online places to hear stories read by some pretty entertaining people.  



#Savewithstories 
An Instagram account where celebrities are reading their favorite books to support Save the Children and No Kid Hungry, two organizations that are aiding children who have been affected by COVID-19.

Audiobooks can be another fun way to know a new book, and Audible is offering hundreds of free audiobooks for kids during COVID-19 school closures.
