Next week marks the start of this year’s Global Read Aloud, of which my illustrated novel in verse, A Work in Progress, is a part. (To learn more about this year’s Global Read Aloud and/or the project in general, you can click HERE and HERE.)
Before things get underway, I wanted to make sure to once more share about some of the resources available to those reading and discussing the book (either now, for the GRA, or whenever in the future). Specifically, if you head over to the A WORK IN PROGRESS page of this website, you’ll find two very handy things: first, the incredible Educator’s Guide (created by media specialist extraordinaire Carrie Friday), and second, the series of “behind the scenes” videos I put together about the book. There are six of these videos in all, each one covering one of the GRA’s six weeks of scheduled readings. You can watch these videos directly on my website or over on my YouTube channel (where you’ll find a bunch more cool stuff).
To everyone participating in this year’s Global Read Aloud, I look forward to connecting with you! And I hope the resources I (and Carrie!) have prepared prove useful in your exploration of A Work in Progress.

Hey Jarrett!
What an exciting time! It’s going to be so great that your book will be shared with so many kids through GRA! I wanted to remind you that you can feel free to post/share the first chapter read aloud and interview video we made. It might be a fun and easy way for educators to begin and end their time with the book. 🙂

Hope you have a good weekend, Amanda
