Happy birthday Jim Henson, on what would‘ve been your 86th birthday! Thank you for making this world a better place!
Quote from the beginning of this book:
“When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who makes a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave this world a little better for my being here.“ - Jim Henson
More love for this wonderful book. It was challenged in 2015 for containing images of poverty & for downplaying American Exceptionalism.
Boots says, “Hiss!!!” to book bans!

Truly a privilege to be part of such a distinguished panel of speakers this morning for the Global Sustainable Technology & Innovation Conference -Gstic panel on bridging the digital divide for more equitable and inclusive childhood education happening at the Expo 2020 Dubai. Grateful to the conference organizers namely Prof. Jan De Groof (UNESCO Chair for the Right to Education) and Prof YE from KU Leuven for this opportunity to talk about books!
pickFinished this summer as part of a teacher book study. Highly recommend for those in education looking for ways to go beyond just talking about making curriculum more inclusive. Dr. Muhammad centers her curriculum building approach on her research of Historic Black Literary Societies (bringing identity, skills, intellectualism, criticality, and joy to the classroom). 💗

Just starting this while my husband is driving us to Noank CT on the shoreline for our annual family lobster fest. 🦞
pickZetta did exactly what her message in this picture book contains! When you don‘t see your own story or what is valuable to you reflected in the world, tell it yourself. Zetta self published this terrific story about a girl who makes her own museum when she is told the museum she visited contains what we value in society, but of course nothing in it relates to her. 👍🏾👏🏾
pickEasily my new favourite kids bio of Viola Desmond. I would have loved to have this book as a kid. The narration style is easy and enjoyable to read, the illustrations are gorgeous, and the extra info in the back is really solid. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an intro to Viola Desmond for themselves or for little ones.
