Esme Raji Codell
Who is Esme Raji Codell? Esme Raji Codell is a children's literature specialist, national speaker on the subject of literacy and teacher empowerment, the acclaimed author of several bestselling books, a teacher, ex-sticker club president, owner of PlanetEsme and last but certainly not least, a Mom.
I knew Esme when she was just "Esme Codell", and was a member in good standing of her sticker club oh-so-many years ago. (Hey, I was a child of the 80's ok?!) Esme was always so creative, intelligent, witty and just plain fun. I had lost touch with her for over 15 years but saw her face smiling out at me from a bookcover at Barnes and Noble one day. I knew Esme was capable of great things, and was so excited to see her books! Planet Esme Esme's site, Planet Esme, is a wonderful spot in cyberspace for kids, parents, bibliophiles and educators and is a ton of fun to tour, but be careful...you will be there for hours if you click here.
