Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the San Gabriel High School library for a quick, impromptu visit with students in Robert Huynh and Janet Chai's classes. Many of them had read both "Telling," and "Too Soon for Jeff," from the "True-to-Life Series From Hamilton High." It's always a delight to talk with young readers and to connect with them over stories. It's also always a delight to see such dedicated high school English teachers in action, to see the rapport they have with such a broad range of students, and to know the love of reading is being nurtured in this setting. These students and teachers give me hope for the future.
