Happy Tuesday, folx! You all know just how much we believe in a diverse bookshelf, and our passion to promote literature so every person can see themselves in stories. So we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of the @bharatbabies cover reveal team for their book Finding Om! Any, an American girl of Indian and African heritage who finds mindfulness and peace through an exploration of the mantra Om. This story helps children uncover the calm, inspiring strengths of awareness within themselves and is a wonderful multicultural, multi-generational story. With this launch, @bharatbabies is also launching its #1001DiverseBooks program, which will help us not only bridge the diversity gap but also the accessibility gap in children’s literature. With each new book launch, Bharat Babies is committing to also raise the funds to donate 1001 books to literacy and advocacy nonprofits that are working across the country to help children in need. We need your help to make our vision a reality. Will you be a part of the change to end the diversity gap AND accessibility gap? When you pre-order your copy of Finding Om, you can also sponsor a copy for the @holisticlifefoundation for only $10! The pre-order link is in bio. For all orders placed between November 12th, 2019 through November 19th, 2019 will be signed by author Rashmi Bismark, MD. #bharatbabies #findingom #weneeddiversebooks #holisticlifefoundation #1001diversebooks #childrensbooks #poccentricnarratives #picturebooksaremyjam #diversekidlit #coverreveal #education #diversity #inclusion
Happy Monday! To finish out our Week of Music we bring you an awesome book by @secretmountainpublishing ! Songs From A Journey With A Parrot features Brazilian and Portuguese lullabies & nursery rhymes. The songs are great to listen to on their own, but the beautiful illustrations amplify the experience. In the back is also complete lyrics in both their original language and English. There is also a bit of historical explanation to accompany the translation and sometimes a game that goes along with the song. The songs themselves are recorded by various artists and children join in as well. We very much enjoyed listening and hope you do too! In fact, another book by Secret Mountain is up for #findmestories_bestof2019 ! Can anyone guess which it might be? #weekofmusic #music #lullabies #bilingualbooks #nurseryrhymes #musiceducation #brazil #portugal
What could be a better way to end our Week of Music than to go and see a musical? We trekked into the city for Come From Away with our family and some other Newfie friends. We also have our final book review coming later today! Hope everyone is having a great day full of adventures 🍁 🍁 #weekofmusic #comefromaway #newfoundland #tinyactivistadventures #tinyactivistsathome #musical #musicals #familyouting
Happy Saturday! Our Week of Music is continuing to rock, and we’ve boogied through a whole week already! Luckily, we have one more special music-related book to review for tomorrow. But, let’s focus on today! Yesterday we learned a bit about Alastair’s music, so today we’ll learn about him! Hope everyone is having a great day, and keep on rockin’ 🙂 We teased you a bit in these photos, but see the whole interview on our website!

Today we share an artist whose quirky, thoughtful lyrics spice up the children’s music that he makes. The well-established genre is refreshed by Alastair Moock’s rambunctious, rootsy rhythms. While Moock is working up a new album titled “Be A Pain” and preparing for shows at Club Passim in Cambridge, MA on November 16th, a performance of “Just Kidding: Alastair Moock” at New York City’s Symphony Space, as well as a Holiday Family show at Beverly, MA’s Cabot Theater, we wanted to highlight the awesome work that he has been putting out consistently since he began performing music for children over 10 years ago! Link in bio for more information about Alastair’s music, and look for a Q&A with him tomorrow! #weekofmusic #music #musicforkids #musicwithamessage #education #diversity #americana #acoustic #folk #folkmusic #socialjustice #makechange #beyourself
This week for our book club we are checking out stories with inference! Our minds immediately went to scientific inference, and to this awesome series by @owendaveydraws about animals! We love that readers can learn about the varieties of critters in an in-depth way, and make inferences about the different adaptations and attributes that animals have.
