Recommendation:

The value of `meeting´ real life authors and illustrators adds significantly to a student´s reading of literature. This site is well organized, using graphic symbols and tables to share the information available. A free trial is offered to explore the benefits the site has to offer an individual teacher or a school. Some of the components of the website are free to anyone. The lists of resources are searchable without signing up, so one could research the number of resources in the program that relate to the school´s curriculum.
