McLean & Eakin is offering 20% off all three Stories Told titles – in-store and online – from February 1 through April 30.

Petoskey District Library has print and digital copies of Measuring Up, Other Words for Home, and Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks.

NOTE: All families and schools in our five-county region can access the digital copies of these titles through their local library; call your local library for assistance.

You are encouraged to explore your local or district libraries for print, digital, or audiobook copies of the Stories Told Books.

Educators: If titles are limited in number, consider a classroom read-aloud, which would only require one book!

Through a generous sponsorship from the Robert Jensen Dau Foundation, Next Gen will distribute complimentary copies of Jason Reynolds' book to those who attend the Kennedy Center's Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts. Based on proximity and group size, books will be available for pickup at the Center or delivered to schools in advance of the performance.

Harbor Springs Festival of the Book is presenting a live webinar with Jasmine Warga, author of Other Words for Home, and will generously give away approximately 500 free copies to registered educators (1 book per 10 students). Other Words for Home is available thanks to a grant from the Michigan Arts & Culture Council. Books will be mailed or delivered in advance of the March 13 webinar.

Explore opportunities for mini-grants through your school, district, and/or school board to cover the cost of a bulk book order from one of our collaborating booksellers.
