Reminding myself this week that I don’t sit down to write because I feel inspired. I sit down to write so I’ll be there, working & ready to go when inspiration shows up.

Please don't tell kids that old "First Thanksgiving" myth and pass it off as actual history. Share books like these this week instead.

Book cover RACE TO THE TRUTH: COLONIZATION AND THE WAMPANOAG STORY shows a Wampanoag woman with long braids paddling a canoe

Book cover HISTORY SMASHERS THE MAYFLOWER shows a pile of Pilgrims dressed in black and white crowded on a ship with a speech bubble that says "It totally didn't happen this way."
