“Sharon, Erica, and their team value collaboration. They made sure to include my requests and suggestions and communicated their passion for my book and its themes. Their enthusiasm was reflected in the insightful activities and questions in the educator’s guide. I know readers will feel encouraged to think deeply about my book’s plot and characters and, more importantly, about themselves.” – Laura Shovan, educator and author of the middle grade novels The Last Fifth Grade of Emerson Elementary, Takedown, and A Place at the Table (co-written with Saadia Faruqi).

“I am absolutely thrilled …and can’t thank [Room 228] enough for this truly thorough guide with such insightful questions and ideas. I am so excited to have it now, at the start of the school year, as I start my first visits to schools and libraries.” – Adrienne Wright, Author of Hector: A Boy, A Protest, and the Photograph that Changed Apartheid

“The team at Room 228 never fails to impress me.  Their classroom activities and questions prompts are incredibly thoughtful and creative.  Their guides always generate a lot of praise from authors, illustrators, and our editorial team — and that’s pretty impressive.” – Jenny Choy, Little Brown Books for Young Readers

“Room 228 is an absolute delight to work with! Their knowledge of the Common Core standards has been invaluable to us.  Not only are they knowledgeable  but also highly responsive to our needs and feedback. Would recommend working with them on any future projects.”- Katie Halata, Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group

“Room 228 was recommended to us for an in-school project DOGO was creating for a client in Hollywood.  I now understand why!  Erica and Sharon are true professionals who delivered a program that won over our client through its detail and innovative educational resources.  I can’t wait to work with them again!” – Ed Meagher, VP Sales at DOGOnews

“Working with the team at Room 228 was, and continues to be, a dream come true. The level of thought, passion, commitment and execution that went into the educational materials for my Little Senses book series is beyond anything I could have even touched upon if I were to do this myself.  To know that educators, caregivers and therapists have such useful Little Senses tools to help raise awareness and understanding within the neurodiverse community means the world to me.” — Samantha Cotterill, picture book author and illustrator of many books including the Little Senses series

“It’s an absolute pleasure working with the professional team at Room 228. Their passion for literacy and their resources to get kids excited about books is unsurpassed.
