To celebrate our seventh episode, Watson Mountain Middle School's Gela Russell (Assistant Principal) and Adam Howells (Instructional Technology Facilitator) dive into two incredible books with the number "seven" in the title: Holly Goldberg Sloan's Counting by 7s and Shelly Pearsall's The Seven Most Important Thing. Both books' young protagonists navigate profound grief and discover their own strength through unexpected human connections. They also discuss the power of fiction and how stories can profoundly change the way you interact with others on a daily basis.
