Welcome to Top Shelf Tales, where we celebrate the magic of American Library Association (ALA) award-winning picture books! Our mission is to inspire a love for reading and learning in early elementary school-aged children through engaging, standards-based activities.
I worked as a public-school teacher for nearly a decade, and now, I work in publishing. So, you can trust my expertise and life-long passion for children’s literature. Here at Top Shelf Tales, you’ll find creative and educational resources designed to make reading fun and meaningful for young learners.
I am also a fierce advocate of public libraries! I will be acquiring the books I use for this blog solely from my local library (including eBooks from Libby and Hoopla) and encourage you to do the same! Libraries are treasures and we must patronize them often to ensure they continue to receive the essential funding and support they need.
I hope you’ll join me on this literary adventure and discover the joy of ALA award winning books with your little ones!
