NYS TESOL’s Dialogue Online Magazine reviews Claiming Face
This past October, Nanette Dougherty, otherwise known as the “Curious Librarian” for New York’s Dialogue magazine, reviewed our Claiming Face, the Educator’s Guide. Dialogue magazine is an online E-newsletter from New York State Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages. Nanette Dougherty has been working with culturally and linguistically diverse students, grades K-12, in New York City’s Title 1 schools for fifteen years. She says about Claiming Face:

Read more of Nanette’s review on the Dialogue website. Plus also check out Maya’s newest blog series all about Claiming Face on the Children’s Book Press blog.
