We’re so stoked to be doing our second day of hosting! Today’s theme is books about #bodyconfidence that are #smashingstereotypes ! We live in a society where body confidence is not promoted- in fact it is the exact opposite. Body confidence looks different on each person, and it is an important journey to begin when you’re young and open to hearing it, so we emphasize the importance of each body, whether it’s disabled, black, brown, big or small- it’s your body, and you can love it just as it is! Go for adventures, try some yoga, and speak your mind above all else! . 💪🏽 . The books we picked today are: 🧘🏿‍♀️#abcyoga written and illustrated by @chengel_illustration . 🙅🏽‍♀️#donttouchmyhair by @coilyandcute . 🥾#grandmagatewoodhikestheappalachiantrail by @jenniferthermes . 📚Follow Our Fab Cohosts: @gendercharter @thinkorblue @ncredible_me @mdlmbooks @sonshinemagazine ! . . . . #bodyconfidence #loveyourbody #yogaforkids #yogabodyconfidence #diversebooks #diversekidlit #weneeddiversebooks #picturebooks #booksaboutpoc #bodyautonomy #childrensbooks #gectopics
It’s our first day hosting for the #smashingstereotypes challenge, and today is about the all-important subject of #consent ✋🏼 These 4 books feature children who are learning to use their voice and speak up when they do not consent to touch or play, whether it is coming from an adult, a family member, or another child at school. Lee’s favorite way to ask children for a good bye is to say “hug, high five, or fist bump?” Sometimes they get all three, but there is always choice involved! This is also important for adults to be conscious of, and to make sure they too are modeling this behavior. ✋🏼 Our picks are: . 🗣#nomeansno written by @jayneensandersauthor and illustrated by @cheriezamazingillustration . 👂🏻 #sexisafunnyword written by @corysilverberg and @fionasmythlukkie . @cisforconsent written by #eleanormorrison and @fayeorlove . 🎂#milesisthebossofhisbody written by #samanthakurtzmancounter and @mocomama . ❤️ follow our fellow hosts: . @gendercharter @thinkorblue @ncredible_me @sonshinemagazine @mdlmbooks ! . #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #childrensbooks #childrensliterature #consent #mybodymychoice #bodyautonomyforkids #bodyautonomyforeveryone #gectopics #maychallenge #kidlit #picturebooks #inclusion #respect #boundaries #respectboundaries
Hello All! We're all the way to the middle of May, and it's flown by! Although we spend a whole lot of our time reading children's literature, we have some favorite books that are #smashingstereotypes for adult readers as well! As educators, we especially enjoy books that expand our knowledge about theoretical background behind our work on anti-bias and gender-neutral parenting and education. These books are standouts, packing a double punch of fascinating information and great writing! To read more, follow the link in our bio! . 🤩 Today’s choices are: 👫#delusionsofgender by #cordeliafine . 👼#thecurseofthegoodgirl by @racheljsimmons . ✊🏿#assataanautobiography by #assatashakur #angeladavis and #lennoxshinds . 👚👕#parentingbeyondpinkandblue by #christiaspearsbrown . Follow our fab cohosts! 🌺 @gendercharter @thinkorblue @ncredible_me @mdlmbooks @sonshinemagazine
Today’s challenge is to find #quotes that we love that inspire us to continue #smashingstereotypes! . 📝 . Lee is constantly inspired by #fromthestarsintheskytothefishinthesea , written by #kaichengthom and illustrated by #kaiyuncheng and #waiyantli and this quote is their favorite, so they drew a tribute on a photo of a beautiful hometown mural by @silvialopezchavez ! This quote fills them with hope because it is a fantastic reminder that there is both joy and sorrow in showing people your authentic, vulnerable self. . ❤️ . Corrie’s pick is from #peacefulfightsforequalrights , written by #robsanders and #jaredandrewschorr . She loves this quote because it can almost become a mantra, reminding the individual how the small things that they do can make a huge difference! . 🌱 . Check out our co-host’s fave quotes by heading to their accounts: @gendercharter @sonshinemagazine @thinkorblue @ncredible_me @mdlmbooks 📒 . ☀️ . #gectopics #childrensbooks #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #genderidentity #nonviolentprotest #diversekidlit #picturebook #inspirationalquotes #favoritequote #favequote #silvialopezchavez
Poetry? Oh Noetry! 👋(I’ll show myself out...) . We’ve made it to Day 14, and we’re excited to take a break from prose to explore the wonders of some #poetry books that are #smashingstereotypes! Poetry is just as important as prose, and it is so essential to educate children on the merits of verse, and the creative majesty that poems can harness. So if you want to hear about our take on some poetry, follow the link in our bio to read more! . 📒 . Check out our picks for today : . 🥥☀️#coconutkindofday written by #lynnjoseph and illustrated by @sandraspeidel . 🧪🐑#maryhadalittlelab written by @suefliess and illustrated by #petrosbouloubasis . ❤️🌱#iamloved written by @giovanni.nikki and illustrated by #ashleybryan . 🦖👀#lifedoesntfrightenme written by @drmayaangelou and illustrated by #jeanmichelbasquiat . ✊🏾🍠#tantotamarind #poemsaboutthecolorbrown written by #malathimichelleiyengar and illustrated by @jamel_akib . ❤️ Our lovely cohosts: @gendercharter @mdlmbooks @sonshinemagazine @ncredible_me @thinkorblue . #diversebooks #childrensbooks #childrensliterature #poetryforkids #poetrycommunity #gectopics #weneeddiversebooks #nikkigiovanni #smashingstereotypes #brownpower #picturebook
Corrie is finally done with her spring semester, but she starts a new job tomorrow! She never gets a day off y'all, and she works so hard. Lee starts a new position in the next few weeks as well, so there are many changes afoot in the Tiny Activist house! Day 13's theme is books with our favorite #storylines for readers, and we chose a few books that blew our minds with their inventive plots! Characters make their own choices and don't just follow flat, contrived narratives-they are thoughtful and based on the character of the protagonists involved and don't exist simply to move the plot along. True storytelling can be found in these fresh characters and situations! . 🖋 . Today’s choices are: 🥁 #natsumi! Written by @slendroth and illustrated by @priscilladesign . ❤️#beautiful written by @stacymcanulty and illustrated by @joannelewvriethoff . 🌲#snowboyandthelasttreestanding written by #hiawynoram and illustrated by @birgittasif . 👑#brazen written and illustrated by @penelopeb ! . #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #childrensbooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookoftheday #diversechildrensbooks #diversekidlit #diversespines #gectopics #marchchallenge #smashingstereotypes #storytelling #storylines #penelopebagieu #susanlendroth #birgittasif #joannelewvriethoff #stacymcanulty #priscillaburris #priscillaburrisart
