Happy Saturday! There’s a heat wave hitting us here in New England, so unless we venture to go swimming in the river later (which is also one of our favorite places to watch the sunset with a cold drink! 🍹) we will be inside all day! We are so stoked to feature Tyler this week, who is a dear friend of ours! She does it all, Tyler is a talented writer and activist! . 🔮 . Lee and Tyler experienced the highs and lows of their late teens and early twenties together in the squalid co-cops of the University of Maryland and have been best buds ever since 2013! . Link in bio for the entire interview (which you should definitely read!) 🔥 . #soundoffsaturday #activism #activist #judaism #hinenu #writer #author #weneeddiversebooks #diversebooks #education #diversity #inclusion #disabilityactivism #lgbtq #lgbtqauthors #lgbtqactivist
Today in #readingwhilecommuting Corrie is deep into Gender & Jim Crow! This is a historical account about the lives of women impacted by the Jim Crow laws. It follows the community organizing and activism that allowed the NAACP, Black newspapers, and other various social organizations to flourish under the oppressive regime whose shockwaves are still being felt today. A quote I particularly liked which sums up the book that I’ve read so far is “to Dudley Pettey, race prejudice worked like class prejudice: it created false divisions among worthy human beings”. #blackexcellence #poccentricnarratives #jimcrow #genderandjimcrow #diversebooks #diversereads #weneeddiversebooks #education #diversity #inclusion #commuterlife #commuterreads
This is a simple counting book that also includes traditional Inuksiutiit Inuit tools and vocabulary. On one side of the page is a number with a corresponding item printed the appropriate amount of times, for example 3 Qulliq (stone lamps). On the opposite side of the page the item is simply drawn with Inuksiutiit, Romanized pronunciation of the Inuksiutiit word, and the English translation. The print is large and easy to read, with the illustrations being simple and eye-catching! This is an awesome set of books to begin learning and teaching about culture, indigenous peoples, and language.

“Suppose we took a thousand negatives and made a gigantic montage: a myriad-faceted picture containing the elegances, the squalor, the curiosities, the monuments, the sad faces, the triumphant faces, the power, the irony, the strength, the decay, the past, the present, the future of a city – that would be my favorite picture.” Popular Photography, February 1940. . 📷🎞 . #femalephotographer #berniceabbott #americanphotography #20thcenturyart #lesbian #borntoday #artist #artists #photography
This book is hefty, with a lot of information on each page. While the age says suited for 5 years and up, most young readers will need assistance in the form of our good old Zone of Proximal Development. The reader gets a sense of the privilege Joseph was born into, and how it enabled him to become known worldwide for his enthralling musical abilities. Joseph was the product of two people in love, unable to be together because of both social stigma and legislation. This is a fascinating story of a little known historical figure and trailblazer, being the first person of color to perform for royalty in the French palace. The complexities of Joseph’s social situation can be more easily understood by older readers, but the main points of the story can be understood and enjoyed by readers much younger. The illustrations by Ransome are in typical fashion, beautiful and evocative. Highly recommend this book, but definitely needs a read through by the educator beforehand!

This is a pretty quick YA read, and we loved it! The main character, a robot, crashes on an island and is alone. Come to find out however, they’re not alone! This chapter book looks at many aspects of life, including being a compassionate “human”, nurturing another life, independence, and friendship. Such a beautiful and pure story! It’s part of a series, but we haven’t been able to check out the others yet! #yabooks #robots #chapterbooks #yabook #ireadya #ireadyalit #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #education #diversity #inclusion #readingwhilecommuting
