Local Ottawa Duo Recognized by Scholastic & Usher's New Look #BIGGERTHAN Book List

Reading can help children surpass their own expectations and overcome obstacles. When children find the right book at the right time, the world opens, and everything becomes possible.

In conjunction with Scholastic’s “Open a World of Possible” reading initiative and Usher’s New Look BIGGERTHAN Words initiative, the “ BIGGERTHAN Booklist Challenge ” gave students in grades 3–8 the opportunity to actively connect with and share the power of reading in their lives.

Students were asked to create a list of three books that have made them feel “BIGGERTHAN”—books that had inspired them to take on challenges and which ultimately had a positive impact on them—and have their teacher or parent share it on social media using the hashtags #BIGGERTHAN and #sharepossible.

Scholastic & Usher’s New Look announced their TOP 10 #BIGGERTHAN Book List and Ottawa’s local duo made the list! [
