MARCH news from Top Shelf

MARCH is the Anti-Defamation League's Book of the Month!

Soon after the New York Department of Education honored March with its NYC Reads 365 program, we are proud to share a new endorsement for this landmark series by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell.

The Anti-Defamation League has officially declared March: Book One their Book of the Month for February 2016. As the ADL puts it, reading can "help children explore the true diversity of our world. Books can also teach children to understand and challenge bias and bullying and to promote social action in order to combat injustice."

To help readers get the most out of March, the ADL offers two discussion guides, for educators and for parents & family. These, and several other resources, can be found on the dedicated March page on the Top Shelf web site.
