Today we finished listening to an audio recording of "Two Old Women" by Velma Wallis. This tale comes from Athabascan culture - specifically the Gwich'in tribe - and follows the story of Sa and Chidzigyaak, two elderly women abandoned by their tribe during a harsh winter. The story follows their struggles and the success of their survival.

The Little Voices series is truly adorable! It empowers young children while exploring their emotions with everyday concepts. It is super cute and I am in love with the diversity representation in the illustrations.

Okra Stew is a beautiful book about food, family, ancestors and Gullah Geechee culture.
Okra Stew is a wonderful read. I love how the author added the recipe at the end of the book, as well as information about the Gullah Geechee people.

Partially based on Shawn Amos’s own experiences growing up the son of Wally “Famous” Amos in a mostly white area, and packed with humor, heart, and fun illustrations, this debut novel sings with the joy of self-discovery, unconditional love, and belonging.

Kin is truly a piece of art ! This beautiful nonfiction book is inspired by Carole Boston Weatherford and Jeffery Boston Weatherford ancestors. It is a touching, very emotional read and a very important book for African Studies and Black Community.
