Ed Surge – Kimberly Rues 
As teachers and librarians, we know that a truly great story has transformative powers. The words take us to new places, expose us to different people, and give us experiences beyond our own lives. In so doing, a story has the might to develop empathy for humans whose lives are very much different from our own. In reading and sharing those stories, we often find ourselves transported into the shoes of another, and we rarely exit the pages untouched. For me, that is where the richness of a reading life finds its root. It is the power that digs deep in the soul.
