#road2reading Challenge - ALA edition 7.11.17


All journeys have a starting place.
This is a weekly place to find books and tools 
that you may use with readers at the start of their reading journey.
Join in the conversation at #road2reading.


While in the ALA expo hall, I was on the hunt for upcoming books for our #road2reading friends.  Here are some of my finds!
