All author royalties from the sale of It's All About the Books are being donated to the Book Love Foundation, in order to impact as many teachers and students as possible. Book love is dedicated to teachers who inspire a love of reading.

The idea for this book started with the question, 'How do you fit it all in?' And their very honest answer is, you don't, and that's the point.

Each year, educators from across the country travel to Boothbay, Maine, to work with colleagues and literacy experts on issues of reading and writing.

Kelly and Penny discuss how this collaboration changed their teaching for the better. Our conversation with these two influential educators, picks up where we left off, by asking them to reflect on their year spent teaching together
