My most recent Janet moment is reading ALEX AND THE WEDNESDAY CHESS CLUB, a picture book in verse which my chess-crazy 2nd graders love. She shares so generously of her experience and has a knack for foregrounding the universal connections in the specific details. Looking forward to this book...Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496427007514895950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-77511360784549266922019-03-09T19:13:48.222-08:002019-03-09T19:13:48.222-08:00Hi Mary Lee, I agree!
