I met Joyce Hostetter a few years ago at a reading and writing conference in Alabama. We chatted briefly, learned that we lived about an hour apart, and decided to stay in touch. Since then we've discovered that we make a great working team. We've conducted joint workshops for North Carolina teachers at NCCAT and NWRESA and several years ago decided to co-produce an E-newsletter, TALKING STORY.

Most of our readers are teachers, media specialists, or homeschool parents. We stuff each issue with links, books, learning activities, and people related to a particular theme. And oh, yeah - GIVEAWAYS!

July/August- Picture Books for all Ages
