It’s not too late to read Winsome Bingham’s THE WALK, a perfect #picturebook for Election Day! I ❤️ the natural rising tension & how the child plays an active role in this important community ritual.

I am such a fan of @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social and last night at the Brooklyn Public Library I’m reminded why. He is so thoughtful and intentional about his writing. Now I have to go buy Jay Ellis’ book. If you haven’t read the TRACK series, pick up GHOST, LU, SUNNI, PATINA, and now COACH!

Happy Friday! It's the perfect day to read FISH FRY FRIDAY, a new #picturebook from @armyvet5.bsky.social & C.G. Esperanza. I love SOUL FOOD SUNDAY and this one is just as great! Family love, joy, tradition... a heartwarming text w/ colorful art that invites you into the story. A must-read! #kidlit

Cover of the picture book, FISH FRY FRIDAY by Winsome Bingham and C.G. Esperanza. Shows a girl and her grandmother, dressed in colorful printed clothing. The grandmother is holding a fish, while the girl holds a plate with fried fish and sides. They are smiling at each other.

#DaGild #TheGildedAge When I say Black folks are not monolith & that we are smart, complex, and strategic, I’m referring to The Kirklands & The Scotts. This battle is both relatable and nuanced. And even though I love Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald is having the last word and shutting this down.

The blatant racism that is being displayed makes me sick. The dismantling of the education system, the banning of books, the firing of qualified individuals while pushing the narrative they are unqualified and only in their positions because they are Black or Brown. This is not right!

A legend has passed on. Roberta Flack has passed on. This reminds me on the line in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL when Granny says, “Earth is a rented space. Heaven is home.” Roberta Flack went home. If you want to learn more about her check out THE GREEN PIANO. #RIPRobertaFlack
