My book, The Well-Dressed Bear Will (Never) be Found is officially out and available for purchase. It’s a 200-page graphic novel about a bear living among humans, trying to figure out how to stay alive in a world that doesn’t want him. It’s about living between identities and cultures, and the extents to which we’ll go in order to keep ourselves alive. 

Order it from the publisher, Publishing Genius Press or from Amazon or from Small Press Distribution.

A story with images.

One time, I built a transmogrifier with my students. It was supposed to help transform student-teachers into teachers and my students designed it based on what they believed a teacher needed. If I recall correctly, you had to put on a helmet they made, then start it up with imagination, and keep it running by asking questions. In the ceiling, they installed a black light and they got glow-in-the-dark chalk so you could write questions on the inside. We installed it in the main education building and invited students to step inside and use the machine. By the end of the week, the interior was full of questions about teaching, learning, and living. 

This was easily one of my favorite moments in the classroom.

We should probably tell our students more frequently what a gift they are to us.
