On today’s episode, Emily Francis talks about transparency and honoring our students’ stories as well as their wishes.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how to win a signed copy of Emily's incredible epistolary autobiography,  If You Only Knew: Letters From an Immigrant Teacher.

I’m hoping you’ll help me spread Chalk + Ink cheer throughout the new year. Boost the podcast on your favorite social media platform, tell a friend, family member, or write a review on your favorite podcast platform, or go to buymeacoffee/chalkandink and support the show with a simple click.

Finally, I want to give a shout out to Sarah Brannen for Chalk + Ink’s podcast art and call attention to the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal. Last year at ALA, Summertime Sleepers, written by Melissa Stewart and illustrated by Sarah Brannen, won the Sibert Honor. The ALA awards are only ten days away and I can’t wait to see which book wins the Sibert Medal this year.

Happy listening!
