For years, James Patterson has been a passionate advocate for literacy and educators, and believes that when students have the right books, everything can change. “There’s no such thing as a kid who hates reading,” Patterson famously once said. “There are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books.”
The son of a teacher himself, the best-selling author’s new book Thank You, Teachers: True Stories from America’s Teachers, Our Last Line of Defense and Our First Line of Hope is out now! Featuring teachers across the country — from kindergarten to high school — the book is a celebration of the heroic effort of our educators. Order your copy today here.
To mark the release of the book, Patterson is eager to help 1,000 teachers across the country put more books in students’ hands. The $200 prize truly gives teachers the opportunity to transform their shelves.
Winning teachers will receive eGift cards that can be used across Scholastic, including the Teacher Store, Book Clubs, and the Scholastic Store.
Good luck and thank you for everything you do for your students!
You can find all books and activities at The Teacher Store.
