Hard to believe it's been 20 years. And for many, those years have been hard. Let the flood of memories keep us aware of what needs to be done to keep my hometown of New Orleans and her residents safe. #Katrina20 #NewOrleans #ClimateChange

‪Happy Book Birthday, DISGUSTOLOGY! 🤢😱🤮

Re-cap! Memories and takeaways from NCTE/NCTM Joint Conference 2025 and how the theme Gather, Grow, and Learn Together flowed through every session, conversation, and connection. Finding inspiration is easy when spending time with people who care about kids. #LitMath2025 #NCTE/NCTM2025 #edusky

Great interview! Books with BIPOC and LGBT characters are getting banned. "What does it mean when somebody says they want to protect children but what they're doing is removing the identity of a character..." @jbradley.bsky.social #edusky #FreedomToRead #FightBookBans www.wgbh.org/culture/book...

Did you know the creator of the Green Book was a postal carrier based in Harlem? His name was Victor Hugo Green. During a time when taking a trip across the nation could be dangerous for Black Americans, Green crafted a guide that changed the lives of millions.

Opening the Road is the first picture book about the creation and distribution of The Green Book. Author @keilavdawson.bsky.social tells the story of the man behind it and how this travel guide opened the road for a safer, more equitable America. Available wherever books are sold! 📗🚗💨 #kidlit
