Teacher friends, if you are looking for books that will inspire you students to believe in their ability to create change-look no further! Read Kelly Yang’s #FrontDesk and #ThreeKeys LASDK8
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of fighting unfair immigration laws
...danc’d in their heads.

As we finished reading #ThreeKeys last week, Grade 6's thought what better way to celebrate than writing a letter to the author, just like Mia would! Kelly Yang thank you so much for sharing these books and bringing so much joy to our classroom! #FrontDesk DDSBatHome5to6
I woke up feeling too small to fight the racist hate in the 🌍, came armed with a heart to keep sharing Kelly Yang ‘s stories snd books with our 6th graders #frontdesk #threekeys #buildingempathy
Finally finished #ThreeKeys with my Ss and have our story hills to show for it! Thanks Jennifer Serravallo for the great idea and Kelly Yang for the brilliant #storytelling . Now onto books reviews and summaries! Ashley Oaks PS
This stuck out to me this morning as I read...Kelly Yang got me thinking how true this can be. #threekeys

We found time to celebrate and wrap up #FrontDesk #GRA with a quiz and our budding authors made predictions about what they thought would happen to the characters #ThreeKeys Baya Khodja (she/her) Kelly Yang Mareena Kohtala (She/her) #KISJ
Just finished reading #FrontDesk with my GR4 kids. They stayed in our virtual session late to finish the book, even though it was the last day before Holiday Break! I saw a few happy tears when I announced that I had copies of #ThreeKeys the sequel to lend out after Break!
First tweet of the 2020/21 school year is a goodie! Just got my hands on Kelly Yang new novel #threekeys ....waited a whole year for this day!! Can’t wait to dive in & see what Mia & her friends are up to 📖 🔑 #immigration #socialjustice #humanrights
I may be the last person left that hasn’t read this book, but that is about to change. One chapter in and I already get what the buzz is about! Kelly Yang #bookposse #mglit And I’m getting in line for #Threekeys ! Arthur A. Levine Books
An added bonus to shopping Scholastic book fairs is you sometimes get your hands on books that haven’t officially been published yet! 😍 #bookposse Kelly Yang #threekeys
In #ThreeKeys , the companion to Front Desk, Mia returns to use her voice & pen to fight injustices and address racism. “It’s okay to be scared. But you know what’s even scarier? Realizing something is wrong & not saying anything.” Read to connect powerful convos & inspire change.
FINISHED: this is moving, uplifting and shocking. Mia is an incredible: she stands up for everything that we as humans deserve. She is surrounded by the most brilliant people. The injustices highlighted in this book are eye-opening. Everyone needs to read this series. #ThreeKeys
Could not stop reading but also took so many breaths to think parts through. Made me feel a lot, how Kelly Yang shows racism towards immigrants, how #ThreeKeys will support readers who also worry about their safety, their accents, that they aren’t enough one culture or another.
Last week, Front Desk was banned for being “anti-racist”. Is anti-racism somehow being weaponized to censor what we can read and discuss in school? My thoughts on the #FrontDesk #BookBan on NBC Bay Area! ❤️📚🙌Thanks so much for having me on!
