I love finding books on similar topics across age groups to encourage reading among siblings, friends, and family members. These titles featuring Van Gogh would be great to explore before visiting museums or diving deeper all together into learning more about art, writing, history, etc… #VanGogh
Reading & writing middle grade while teaching this age group brings me so much joy, appreciation, & admiration for these young people. Please add in the comments any titles you, your children, or your students have enjoyed recently. MG authors, you’re welcome to add your titles. ❤️📚 #kidlit
