We've all heard, "You are what you eat!" but have you heard,
You are what you read."
- Jodie Jackson, author, You Are What You Read (2019)

The author's book, and a video of her reciting her original poem are both available at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Jodie-Jackson/e/B07R3X5M9B/

"You are what you read" came to mind when mulling over the recent NCTE position statement which calls for decentering "book reading" for English Language Arts (ELA) instruction. http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....ering_book_reading_and_e.html#Post249649
