I love Mr. Rogers, but if we were having tea together, I would ask him, “Who are the helpers? How do we know they are here to help and not to hurt?” It’s not always black and white, is it?
Cue my book selections for this month.
We’re talking about …. helpers.
Last year, I wrote a couple of posts with books by Native authors for Indigenous People’s Month. This year, I want to share two Native American legends, a true story about a Native woman’s childhood at the turn of the last century, and a book featuring real Indigenous heroes who have accomplished great things throughout history.
It’s that time of year again. Tomorrow is the first day of Black History Month. Here are four books to read to your kids. Don’t be afraid to take your time with these, and to sit with discomfort as you answer your kids’ questions.
It’s Native American History Month.
At the beginning of this year, I published a list of books by Native American authors to introduce kids to the original inhabitants of our country. People who were abused in every way, and yet survived and are still telling their stories.
Here are three more titles to read with your kids.
Ahead, two books for your summer antiracism reading: a fact-filled thought provoker, and a middle grade novel that will have you smiling through your tears.
