pickInformative insight
Last batch of Adam Rex on hand. Turns out there's a lot more written by than illustrated by available, at least at my local library. Varying levels of whimsical and ridiculous, with gentle lessons.

pickI‘m giving this one a pick because it has 2 new pieces of info, & I think it‘s a good basic guide for people to start with if they want to learn. For me, & probably most Littens, it may be too basic. Interesting chapters were 3 &4, when she explains the stages of coming out & scales available that allows us to identify orientation, gender, gender expression, & attraction. Less than 6 hrs on audio, less than 200 pages.
pickSay something would be a fabulous choice for a RA in the classroom! This RF book teaches students to use their voice & speak up on topics they‘re passionate about! This book also teaches our students “speaking up” doesn‘t always require your voice, there are many ways we can make a difference through our actions. 🙌🏼 I would teach this book using the UDL principle 3.1(activate or supply background knowledge)
pickFinished up my first April read!
This was a really interesting read - if you‘re into sociology like me you‘ll like this one. It involves poignant studies on how the concept of “masculinity” can be harmful to men
Checking this off my #bookspinbingo board
pickWhat happens when kids take the initiative and get their whole neighborhood involved to help the birds? A huge change towards making a habitat for our feathered friends. Adorable and hopeful.
pickOriginally published in 1986, some areas are outdated but a great deal more are still frighteningly relevant. It shows just how far we haven‘t come when it relates to rape cases. The myth of common false allegations, victim blaming, violence leading to the modern scourge of ‘rough sex‘ defence - we are still mired in it all. 4🌟
pickFantastic for read-aloud: big text, bold illustrations, diverse characters. 'Saying something' can take many forms, not just verbal. Not a narrative story, but lots of ideas for personal expression and kindness. I'm fascinated by the backgrounds in the illustrations. They could inspire an collage project of hand-painted patterns layered eith photos. Can't wait to read Reynold's "Word Collector" #dw2020reads
pickI inadvertently finished my #DoubleSpin before my #BookSpin. 🤷🏻♀️
Less memoir, more how to avoid the same mistakes I‘ve made type book about the entrees to social justice. #ReadBlackAuthors
Fun Fact: I was introduced to the authors work after randomly standing behind her at a fashion show at #NYFW. Unlike the other “celebs” around her, she was super nice, kind, and normal.
I've spent much of the day alternating between school readings (above) for a community organizing intensive course that starts on Tuesday, and fun audiobook reading to try to finish The Water Dancer. I need to get my reading in while I can! This weekend I have the Women's March, an Alternatives to Policing training, and an MLK March, and then I have my intensive class Tues-Sat. If all goes well I'll finish The Water Dancer tomorrow. 👍
