LEARN

You Are My Favorite Story is more than a book to read together. It is a conversation starter, an emotional vocabulary builder, and a natural fit for the classroom.

This page offers free downloadable educational resources created for teachers and librarians working with children in Grades 1 and 2. Each resource is designed to extend the themes of the book into meaningful classroom discussion and activity, and works just as well at home for parents who want to go a little deeper.
