In our recent Kids, Books & Anti-Racism workshop with Dr. Sonja Cherry-Paul, we explored the possibilities of book clubs as brave spaces where students reflect on their racial identities, read and discuss books that affirm them, and challenge inequities.
Sonja graciously shared a selection of picture books from her bookshelf and encouraged participants to look for these at their local bookstore.
How do you decide what to focus on in your teaching? Our Kids, Books & Anti-Racism series speaker Vivian Vasquez starts by observing what her students care about.
