I was honored to be asked to be a Spotlight Speaker at the WEMTA Conference (Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association) this year. One of my sessions today was booktalking / recommending 164 picture books in 60 minutes. I didn’t quite get to all of the slides (which is what I figured would happen!), but I did get to talk… Read More
Picture Books for Lunar New Year
I originally had this post scheduled to go live on the 22nd. In light of the tragedy in California, and out of respect for the victims and community, I chose to delay it.

A #BookADay for Native American Heritage Month 2022
*#bookaday was created by Donalyn Miller & was the inspiration for my creating #ClassroomBookADay sharing a picture book read aloud every day of the school year. I am once again sharing a new list of picture books I recommend for Native American Heritage Month (and all year long!). I shared 30 titles last year (see below) and have a new,… Read More
Happy Diwali!
I have been seeing more representation of Indian and Indian American people and celebrations in children’s literature in the United States the last couple of years, which is a good trend that I hope continues. From what I could see, there were 6 new Diwali books in the last 2 years alone! Considering that Diwali, a celebration of good over… Read More
