This page highlights the books that shape my teaching and learning. You’ll find a mix of titles I share with my students in the classroom (stories that spark curiosity, empathy, and a love of reading) as well as books I’ve read on my own that have inspired my growth as an educator (and just as a good human being!). Together, they reflect my belief that great teaching begins with a passion for continual learning and storytelling. I’m continually updating this list, so keep coming back to check out some new titles!

I just recently read this book to my first graders during our discussion about Native American Heritage Month! It generated a great conversation about environmentalism and Native culture.
This is a favorite book for a lot of my students. Collective “awwww”s fill our classroom whenever it’s brought out!
My dad read this collection of stories to me growing up, and I’ve kept the original copy with me ever since. It’s a collection of short stories that follow the same set of silly animal characters- perfect for every day routine-building-reading!!
