Her TED-ED talk "Can a children's book change the world?" would be a great topic. #6thchat

Definitely a great topic! If she can't, we can always use it as an inspiration for our own chat. I like that. #6thchat

That is a good topic. Makes me think of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind too. #6thchat

Another teacher in my school teaches that in 8th grade. It is also a TED talk. #6thchat
