The 21st Century Classroom#vted Reads: Brave Like ThatAre you wear-your-mask-in-a-pandemic brave, listeners? Or get-vaccinated-when-needles-scare-you brave? On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Vermont author and educator Lindsey Stoddard, who's here to talk about her new middle grades book, Brave Like That.
