About the Reviewer:

Nicole Scoles is currently the teacher-librarian at an excelling elementary school in Tucson, Arizona. Nicole is blessed to have an ongoing partnership with many of the teachers at the school site. Each week she engages the children (preschool-6th grade) in lessons following the Arizona Academic Standards and the American Library Association Standards for the 21st Century Learner.

For this Southwest Book Project, Nicole collaborated with a distinguished first grade teacher who shares Nicole's ideals that reading is more effectively taught with good literature. The first grade team incorporates literature and especially multicultural literature in all of their thematic units.
Nicole is currently a part of the Master's program in the School of Information Resources and Library Science at the University of Arizona.

"I'm just trying to matter."

(This statement is Nicole's current motto as quoted by Reese Witherspoon who quoted June Carter Cash.)
