As you continue to teach #BlackHistory all year - focus on the themes @sonjacherrypaul.bsky.social identifies in this educator's guide to Unspeakable - Resistance, Resilience, Reconciliation. Themes of agency, of hope...Where do you see these themes in this cover illustration? #picturebooks #kidlit

As you continue your year-round teaching of Black History - and lean into intersections of history, music, the halftime show, culture and brilliance - here is a text for you -what other #picturebooks come to mind? And if you aren’t following Dr. Cherry-Paul - fix that. #kidlit #thePictureBookProject

Do you want young readers to know what real courage and leadership looks like, in this moment? Make sure to teach them about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I could not be prouder of her, right now. She speaks truth to power every single, solitary day. We have never needed her more.

Good Black books are always in season, especially if they celebrate strong Black women.

Do you know about @childsplaybooks.bsky.social ? From their philosophy: "Vibrant illustrations positively portray children of all cultures, religions, gender and abilities, helping children to develop an understanding of our diverse society, and promote non-stereotypical traditions and values."
"Notably, one child is depicted with a feeding tube, a rare and emphatically welcome inclusion in board books"

Brilliant review of ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT illustrated by Annie Kubler & Sarah Dellow! Thanks @slj.com!
