Project for Awesome

So I discovered this project this morning: www.projectforawesome.com

Check it out! Here's a little explanation from the site to explain what they're trying to accomplish

"Sometimes the world just sucks too much. This year is certainly no exception. But it’s the time of the year when we have to think about others instead of ourselves. Which is why the YouTube community is excited, this year, to band together to promote our favorite charities, and to encourage giving among young and old alike...

Throughout the day this December 17th, we will be liveblogging the transformation that YouTube is undergoing. As P4A (project for awesome) videos go live throughout the site, and the community promotes those videos, and people give money to the biggest and best charities of the year."
The name alone is enough to make me love it, but I also really like the message and goal of the project. Also, here's Hank Green (brother of the 'awesome' YA author John Green and co-founder of the Nerd Fighters) explaining more about Project Awesome. Turn your volume down a bit, he gets excited and talks a little loudly. :)




All right, get your awesome in whatever way you can, just in time for Christmas!

Much loves,
Sti

I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!
