It’s always supportive when non-Sikh #bookstagram and #kidlit allies post informed captions about #Vaisakhi or #SikhHeritageMonth 🙏🏽 instagram.com/p/Cq_UX3vAgle/…

The work of heritage months needs to continue all year long. If you are looking for books for #SikhHeritageMonth, consider The Garden of Peace - I’ve used it with Ss from Kindergarten to critical conversions with undergraduates. Picture books are for all of us.

VA’s new history standards, if they are approved, will refer to indigenous people as America’s “first immigrants.” These standards also erase all mention of present-day indigenous people and cultures.

My final author visit for the school year with @DDSBatHome1to2 - an amazing Grade 2 classroom filled with creativity and joy! The questions and comments were endless - extending a 30 minute visit to recess time💛 These Ss have collectively written 142 stories this year!📚💭🌱

@LisaTsumura @saffronpress @equity_DDSB @DDSBEarlyYears @DDSBLibraries The books are beautiful. Your talk about purposeful and deliberate resource selection was impactful. We need to make sure we are doing everything we can to have books in our schools that represent the community. You gave us a lot to think about and act upon. Thank you.

It’s almost the end of the school year but @DDSBLibraries and @equity_DDSB staff and facilitators created space and listened. When we work collectively, amazing things happen. #crrp #diversityinpublishing #equity Thank you!

We had a fantastic day of deep, critical thinking with Navjot Kaur. Important conversations about the power of the Teacher Librarian and the importance of diverse books in libraries. Such powerful books that we are proud to add to all DDSB schools. @saffronpress @equity_DDSB

Slurs and epithets require counter narratives as an antidote. Children as young as 3 years old have developed oppressive stereotypes. @m_hamid @JackNigro @MaggieLazarus @saffronpress

James Patterson says "you don't see many 52-year-old white males" getting writing contracts these days. This was said in a USA Today interview. USA Today publishes a bestseller list with 150 entries. The day he was quoted, the following white men are on the bestseller list:
