We welcome your children's and young adult literature-related announcements in the next few days. Then we'll dive into the first of our two September topics:

**First Half of September: School Stories From first days to fitting in to classroom comedies, stories about kids in school are a staple of children's literature. During the first half of September, we invite you to talk about your favorite school stories, whether it's your go-to, start-of-the school-year read-aloud or titles you eagerly share with kids throughout the year.

**Second Half of September: Great Expectations. Respect. Responsibility. Integrity. Attitude. Some books offer great examples of positive---or negative---behaviors. Whether they are funny or poignant,

books that honestly and authentically depict characters at their best or their worst offer great opportunities to talk about (or quietly model) behavior and expectations. During the second half of September, we invite you to share titles you've found helpful in affirming your own great expectations for kids in the classroom, in the library, and beyond.
