The erasure and invisibility of independently published children’s books is always present. Trade published books and their #ownvoices narratives will always hold more power - it’s the status quo that people will systemically uphold despite the inequity. #AAPI

The work of heritage months needs to continue all year long. If you are looking for books for #SikhHeritageMonth, consider The Garden of Peace - I’ve used it with Ss from Kindergarten to critical conversions with undergraduates. Picture books are for all of us.

Trying to teach Riaan ASL. It's not going well. Today he burst into tears (twice) when I tried to teach him the signs for "finish" and "no". He was hysterical. I think he thought I was scolding him instead of teaching him. Any tips?

My final author visit for the school year with @DDSBatHome1to2 - an amazing Grade 2 classroom filled with creativity and joy! The questions and comments were endless - extending a 30 minute visit to recess time💛 These Ss have collectively written 142 stories this year!📚💭🌱

Whenever I talk to agents about him, the first thing they ask is how large is his social media following. 🙄 I get that social media following is important but I also kinda thought that books were about ideas…

So I know a cancer doctor who has saved more patients by not following the standard of care, including my mom. He has THOUGHTS on Big Health and how to fix it. But he can’t get a book deal because he’s not dancing on TikTok 😂

@LisaTsumura @saffronpress @equity_DDSB @DDSBEarlyYears @DDSBLibraries The books are beautiful. Your talk about purposeful and deliberate resource selection was impactful. We need to make sure we are doing everything we can to have books in our schools that represent the community. You gave us a lot to think about and act upon. Thank you.

It’s almost the end of the school year but @DDSBLibraries and @equity_DDSB staff and facilitators created space and listened. When we work collectively, amazing things happen. #crrp #diversityinpublishing #equity Thank you!

We had a fantastic day of deep, critical thinking with Navjot Kaur. Important conversations about the power of the Teacher Librarian and the importance of diverse books in libraries. Such powerful books that we are proud to add to all DDSB schools. @saffronpress @equity_DDSB

When we say: "It's okay to be different", what message are we normalizing? #Othering @saffronpress

What is the role of the Teacher Librarian as we implement Human Rights at the DDSB? We are delighted to dive in with authour Navjot Kaur this morning to help us to live out our duty bearer responsibilities on the ground. @JackNigro @m_hamid @MaggieLazarus @saffronpress

James Patterson says "you don't see many 52-year-old white males" getting writing contracts these days. This was said in a USA Today interview. USA Today publishes a bestseller list with 150 entries. The day he was quoted, the following white men are on the bestseller list:
