Bianca with John Schu on This Is a School

In this episode, Bianca talks with the one and only John Schu
about his debut picture book, This Is a School—a moving
celebration of school and all it may signify: work and play,
 creativity and trust, and a supportive community that
extends beyond  walls


John Schu is the creator of the popular blog Mr.
Schu  Reads, was the Ambassador of School Libraries for
Scholastic Book Fairs, a part-time lecturer at Rutgers
University,  and a former classroom teacher and school
librarian. He has visited schools worldwide and has met with over
130,000 students,  teachers, and administrators as he
advocates for the people and things he cares about most: kids,
books, schools, and the libraries — and librarians — that connect
them. This Is a School is his picture book debut. John Schu lives
in Naperville, Illinois.
