As you continue to teach #BlackHistory all year - focus on the themes @sonjacherrypaul.bsky.social identifies in this educator's guide to Unspeakable - Resistance, Resilience, Reconciliation. Themes of agency, of hope...Where do you see these themes in this cover illustration? #picturebooks #kidlit
Cover of Carole Boston Weatherford's and Floyd Cooper's UnSpeakable - The Tulsa Race Massacre - a Black family leaving burning Tulsa behind.  The father looks back, the mother's eyes are closes, face upturned, the child in her arms is looking  directly at us, the child walking has a bright pink bow in her hair.

As you continue your year-round teaching of Black History - and lean into intersections of history, music, the halftime show, culture and brilliance - here is a text for you -what other #picturebooks come to mind? And if you aren’t following Dr. Cherry-Paul - fix that. #kidlit #thePictureBookProject

#PictureBooksAreForEveryone - I love that this book exists in the world. We've got two rugby players in our family - one on the East Coast of the US and one on the West Coast. I'll be sharing this book with both of them. Any chance you have a book in the works on women's rugby?

Do you want young readers to know what real courage and leadership looks like, in this moment? Make sure to teach them about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I could not be prouder of her, right now. She speaks truth to power every single, solitary day. We have never needed her more.

Good Black books are always in season, especially if they celebrate strong Black women.

Do you know about @childsplaybooks.bsky.social ? From their philosophy: "Vibrant illustrations positively portray children of all cultures, religions, gender and abilities, helping children to develop an understanding of our diverse society, and promote non-stereotypical traditions and values."

Read #Palestinian #PictureBooks #TeachPalestine. Learn about Palestine. Talk about #Palestine - Speak truth. #TeachTruth #ThePictureBookProject #PictureBooksAreForEveryone
Palestine in Picture Books. Teach Palestine. Erasure of Palestinians in Picture Books is more prevalent than the depiction of harmful stereotypes. Knowledge of the history of Palestine is necessary to understand where erasure occurs.  In 2024, only 1 traditionally published book had the word Palestine in the title. In 2024, only 1 nonfiction Picture Book traditionally published by a Palestinian author.  5 Images of picture books follow, Homeland, A Map for Falasteen, Eleven Words for Love, Baba - What does my name mean? and Hilwa's Gifts.Look for Picture Books That Teach Palestine, Center everyday stories of Palestinians, Focus on the relationship between Palestine and Palestinians, Center the strength of Palestinians, Show the diverse religious beliefs of Palestinians, Share the poetry, art and truthful histories of Palestine.  5 Images of picture books follow, Homeland, A Map for Falasteen, Eleven Words for Love, Baba - What does my name mean? and Hilwa's Gifts.Teach Palestine - Slide reads suggestions from our practice.  5 Images of picture books follow, Homeland, A Map for Falasteen, Eleven Words for Love, Baba - What does my name mean? and Hilwa's Gifts.
