Louder Than Hunger

This Is a Story

A moving celebration of school and all it may signify: work and play, creativity and trust, and a supportive community that extends beyond walls A school isn't just a building; it is all the people who work and learn together. It is a place for discovery and asking questions. A place for sharing, for helping, and for community. It is a place of hope and healing, even when that community can't be together in the same room. John Schu, a librarian and former ambassador of school libraries for Scholastic, crafts a loving letter to schools and the people that make up the communities within in a picture book debut beautifully illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison.

This Is a School

"This book explores the value of sharing stories in ways that speak to our hearts and connect learning communities. It grounds this affective work in a discussion of five affective elements of story - healer, inspiration, clarifier, compassion, and connector - and includes narrative discussions, rationale, and contributions from influential educators and children's book creators along with tons of book recommendations and suggestions for direct classroom and library connections"--
