    Kids have powerful voices & insightful things to teach us all. @pernilleripp TY for providing a vehicle for us to hear Ss' wisdom. #G2great

    My hope is kids will read books like Refugee, Dear Martin, The Hate U Give, and Be kind and feel compelled to be better humans #g2great

    A8: My hope is that my young readers grow passions through reading, follow their curiosities, laugh out loud, feel empathy... #g2great

    We should share ideas about this. It was one of the things I was really working on last year and hope to continue this year. #g2great
