DONALYN QUOTE
• “This is how I show my students that I love them – by
putting books in their hands, by noticing what they
are about, and finding books that tell them, “I
know. I know. I know how it is. I know who you are,
and even though we may never speak of it, read
this book, and know that I understand you.”
