"Finally, about 50 years after Chandra first talked about

stars disappearing, he won the Nobel Prize for his work.

More than the recognition, what mattered to him was that,

finally, the world saw the truth."[email protected]

A3: I love developing activities (downloadable and printable) tied to my pb bios. Do you librarians like to use these types of activities with students to engage them? #tlskychat Examples from my website: www.jeannewalkerharvey.com/projects

Oh that sounds like a wonderful book! I will definitely get it. I'm so thankful my mom took me to the library every week and we both returned with tall stacks of books. I always tell students at my author talks -- "my story began at the library." #TLSkyChat

Oh that'd be terrific! I'll also be in person at the National Building Museum on Sunday 10/5 if any of the students and families might be interested in a book reading plus craft activity ... #TLSkyChat nbm.org/event/just-d...
