We are excited to meet with Kari Tanaka from the University of Lethbridge bookstore in this episode. Leveraging her years as a bookseller and dedicated book/author supporter, Kari offers many suggestions for teachers (and readers) to add to their book collections. She also shares some tips on doing a book talk that gets readers interested in the text. Kari’s excitement for great books is truly contagious, and we cannot be held responsible for the number of books you decide to buy after listening to this episode.Episode Author/Book Highlights
