I wasn’t expecting to cry over this one. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and oh, the feels! Bringing me back to childhood - being one of the only people of color in school, being raised by loving parents who worked their butts off to raise us out of poverty...yes, this book is hitting all of those buttons. 😭😭😭😭 . . #teachersofinstagram #teachingliteracy #thatbooklife #middlegradebooks #frontdesk #kellyyang #reading #literature #allthefeels #books #weneeddiversebooks

#newfromhere #kellyyang @simonkidsuk Out March 1st. 9+ . Based on the authors own experience this is a middle grade contemporary drama full of courage, hope and resilience. . . When coronavirus hits Hong Kong 10-year old Knox's mum takes the family to California thinking they will be safe from the virus. But life in America is not easy. The other kids think because Knox is from Asia he must have brought the virus. . At home mum is freaking out because she got fired and dad doesn't know when he will see them all again because all the flights out of Hong Kong have been cancelled. . . As racism skyrockets during COVID can Knox stand up to the hate while finding his place in his new country? . . Huge fan of The Front Desk which was one of my favorites middle-grade reads of last year so really thrilled that this arrived in the post today 🤩🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXfVmbLZdm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not Harry Potter. Not Bridge to Terabithia. Front Desk by Kelly Yang is my daughter’s favorite read ever (so far). 📚 . . . #kidlit #needlefelting #frontdesk #kellyyang #weneeddiversebooks #representationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/BwK2efFBSJG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ycccbih3ijg
