📚Lee & Low is excited to be teaming up with @ncte.org for a back-to-school giveaway! 100 NCTE members will be selected to receive a classroom set of 48 copies of Strong as Fire, Fierce as Flame by @supriyakelkar.bsky.social! 💻 Enter by 11:59 p.m. ET, Sun., Sept. 7, 2025: ncte.org/back-to-scho...

Loved @halseanderson 's REBELLION 1776 and was struck by how well it paired with STRONG AS FIRE, FIERCE AS FLAME. Both are empowering stories of girls alone in the world, seeking employment in households, finding their voices in turbulent times, and making a difference, 70 years apart.🔥 #kidlit
