Can the vibrant stories of Black leaders instill a greater sense of joy and accomplishment in our hearts? This week, I take you through the exuberant world of Vashti Harrison's "Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History" and "Little Legends: Exceptional Men in Black History," celebrating Black history with a focus on the inspiring contributions and joy that these figures have brought into our lives. As educators and parents, it's crucial to elevate our teaching of Black History Month by highlighting these positive narratives, ensuring that our lessons are engaging and deeply connected to the remarkable individuals who have shaped our past and present.

With fervor, I dive into why Harrison's works are must-haves in every classroom and home library, emphasizing the importance of supporting BIPOC artists and authors. Her books, including the Caldecott Honor-winning "Big," allow us to revisit the pride in our shared history and provide an invaluable resource for fostering inclusive education. Tune in for a discussion that's not only enlightening but also celebratory, as we recommend more enriching reads that weave the diverse cultural tapestry we all share. Join us for a journey that promises to be as informative as it is uplifting.
