I have had the opportunity to attend Peggy Sharp conferences several times since I have been a media specialist. If you have not heard of Peggy Sharp, here is the first paragraph from her introduction on her website

"Dr. Peggy Sharp is well known for her presentations about new children's books, connecting the books to all areas of the curriculum, and motivating children to read. She is an experienced teacher and library media specialist and has received national awards for her creative teaching ideas."

Go to the "Peggy Sharp" link under online resources to discover things such as reading/book ideas for each month, Peggy's picks (her favorite books) and much more.
