A must read book. It touches so many aspects of life.

Alexander explains that this book grew out of a meeting with/his daughter‘s 4th grade teacher after a racially charged incident in the classroom. He realized that teachers aren‘t teaching much about slavery, mostly because they don‘t have the tools & resources to do so. (And, I‘d add, due to politicalization of education in a lot of places.) This is a sad book, wonderfully done, and the art -mixed media, sculpture - is exquisite. ALL THE STARS ⭐️

Great reading by talented Di Ciruolo at Copper Dog books last night! If you haven‘t read Di‘s powerful memoir of resilience & healing by a sexual abuse survivor & veteran of the foster care system, get yourself a copy. An important read. #memoir #survivor #fostercare #resilience

You do it
by being brave enough
to lift your voice,

by holding
history
in one hand

and clenching
hope
in the other.

#SummerSpecial Day 4: For #USIndependence, here is a powerful picturebook that came out this year. Kwame Alexander‘s lyrical text paired with incredible art by Dare Coulter is a gift provided to teachers – literally handed over – in truth and love and hope – to read with children, in the hopes of raising a more enlightened, critical, reflective generation.
