During the summer I’m always on the lookout for new books to add to my classroom library. This year, one of the ones I decided to purchase was Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. I hadn’t read much about the book, but someone recommended it on a Facebook teachers group I follow saying it was a great book with diverse protagonists. As I’m always looking to expand my students’ horizons and to create empathy for all types of people, I thought it would be worth buying.
