I’m an author of children’s books with POC as the main characters
I think it’s a great idea to help kids understand each other and one another, and I would love to need to be a part of that.
To live a good life, choose love, stay safe, play fair.
I spent 49 years in my English classroom encouraging my students to embrace literature as mirrors, windows, and doors to see themselves more clearly and empathize with others more readily. READ IN COLOR to foster understanding and tolerance.
I believe in the power of books to transform lives. Access to diverse and representative literature is essential for fostering understanding, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
Taking the Color Pledge is an absolute honour! We should always cherish all voices, small, big, and shaky. How comfortable we are in a book. Reading connects us all, a book will hold your hand. Guide you through another’s experience. Love truely is all about fresh air, love and communication.
