I used Papermate markers the most. Obsessed with them. For pens though, I also like Papermate. I’m left-handed and they don’t smudge.

Book 28: All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks. “…there can be no love without justice” (19-20). I took so many notes that I know I’ll be writing about all I learned—and loved—forever. We must use hooks’s advice to make change, for love is an action word. #Edusky #Books #Booksky #BHM

Book 27: The Warmth of Other Suns by @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social. Interviewing over 1,000 people for this Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the great migration, 3 personal stories emerge. Each left the South at different times, & each journey was difficult & dangerous. #Edusky #Books #Booksky #BHM

Book 24: Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together In the Cafeteria by Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD. Tatum’s point is clear: race is a topic many white people fear, and should be something we discuss, and speak up about, more. I learned a lot from this one. #Edusky #Books #Booksky #BHM

Mrs. K @shkrajewski.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Book 23: Unspeakable: the Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford and Floyd Cooper. A beautiful book about an unspeakable tragedy. I read and shared this award-winning title with my own children. Be sure to read the author’s and illustrator’s notes at the end. #Edusky #Books #Booksky #BHM

Book 21: The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee, an expert in economic & social policy. She shares why the American economy often fails its people. The root problem: racism. She proves how racism hurts everyone, including white people. An important read, especially now. #Edusky #Books #Booksky #BHM

Having great teachers matter. Even as a teacher myself, I didn’t realize the power of an amazing teacher until I saw the effect they had on my own two kids. 1/5

Book 20: After reading a piece by @sifill.bsky.social on Substack, I couldn’t help but think of books like The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander & Kadir Nelson that lift us all up—the reader & the listener. We can’t give up. Together, we can be brave, persevere, & make change. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 19: The Hate U Give by @angiethomas.bsky.social. It’s more than just a powerful story about the after effects of police brutality. This award-winning novel taught me and many of my students to ask questions, the power of community, and stand up for what’s right. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Mrs. K @shkrajewski.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Book 18: The original won @nhannahjones.bsky.social a Pulitzer, & the first larger collection of The 1619 Project included the work of 38 other amazing writers. The latest version w/ @nytimes.com, A Visual Experience, is epic. All 3 are truly impressive works of journalism. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 17: Born on the Water by @nhannahjones.bsky.social and Renée Watson. Illustrated by @4nikkolas.bsky.social. A powerful read. It’s so much more than just a story. It’s celebration. It’s resistance. It’s love. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 16: The Love Songs of W. E. B. DuBois by @blklibrarygirl.bsky.social. A powerful generational story about strong Black women in Ailey Pearl Garfield’s family. This is a classic that belongs on every “best of” list, and one I’ll read again and again. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 9: Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut by Derrick Barnes and Gordon C. James. What a writer and illustrator combo! The words sing and the images pop off the page! This title may be promoted as a children’s book, but it will bring joy to all readers. A forever favorite for me. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 8: For Every One by Jason Reynolds. It literally is. A letter—through poems—for every single person. We all need this book. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Mrs. K @shkrajewski.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Book 7: Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward. Honestly, every book—every piece of writing—by Ward is incredible and thought provoking. This is her latest, and thus my current favorite. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Book 6: Black Boy Joy, edited by Kwame Mbalia. Here are 17 stories centering around Black characters written by some of the best Black authors of today.

Mrs. K @shkrajewski.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Book 5: The Prophets by Robert Jones Jr. The writing. Oh, the writing! A gorgeously-written story of jealousy, but more importantly, Black queer love. A love that is so pure and tender, the reader can’t help to root for Samuel and Isaiah. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Mrs. K @shkrajewski.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Book 4: Freewater by Amina Luqman-Dawson. A middle grade title, and Newbery winner, for all ages. It’s about two enslaved children who escape and find a freedom community in a deep southern swamp. Full of inspiration and heart. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

I will keep adding on to the original post all month. Fiction & nonfiction. Books for adults, teens, & young kids. Book 2: Stamped from the Beginning by @ibramxk.bsky.social. A book that taught me so much about how racism has been woven into the fabric of our society. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

Knowledge is power. Each day during this Black History Month—a month the government doesn’t want us celebrating—I will be sharing amazing books by Black authors. Book 1: Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. A title written decades ago, but begins on February 1, 2025. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

America Redux by @arielabergriger.bsky.social is like nothing I’ve ever seen. A brilliant visual storyteller created an epic, must-read nonfiction book. Inspired to create some collage art using her images in my notebook. #Edusky #2024Reads #Englishteacher
