Finding the right words can be hard, especially lately. 💭 In this beautiful follow-up to the NYT bestseller, Jerome goes on a search for words of hope and joy to share with his community.
What I love about Peter H. Reynolds’ work is how he centers the power of a child’s vision. 🕊️✨ #kidlit
When you focus on the reason for the season, it’s even harder to be silent. 💔

This timeline (an updated version) shows how racial oppression in the US didn’t end with slavery or segregation — it evolved. As a teacher, I share this because understanding the FULL truth of our past (and PRESENT) is the first step toward real change. We can’t solve what we don’t acknowledge. ✊🏼

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
