So, I love Global Read Aloud is a movement that was started by a teacher, and in Madison, Wisconsin. And it’s basically the Global Read Aloud program is they choose a few books to read over a year in classrooms around the world, and you’ll - My book The Fourteenth Goldfish was one of the books.
And so the teachers will read it in the classroom, but then they will connect with other classrooms. So you might have a classroom in say New Jersey that’s actually connecting with a classroom in Canada, or in Europe or in Hong Kong. And the kids will connect over the book and talk about the book.
I interacted with a lot of the classrooms on Twitter, on Skype visits, on Google chats, and it was just amazing, everywhere I was going people were saying, “Oh, I’m part of Global Read Aloud.” So it was a really amazing experience for me.
They really kind of want to advance like kids connecting and making them realize there’s like a bigger world out there through literature, you know that kids here are reading the same book in another country across the world and that’s a common something that we can talk about together.
