This post and Rhonda's post are so needed. I'm not usually a fan of 'history months', but understand their importance. Being a hyphenate of Arab descent and trying to raise a hyphenate proved difficult when trying to find kidlit reflecting our identities. So, I'm glad there's more discussion over this. I also wanted to share Cathy Camper's picture book - ARAB, ARAB ALL YEAR LONG! A title that clearly expresses how I feel whenever these months come around. Her book, TEN WAYS TO HEAR SNOW, is also a favorite.
Rhonda's picture book looks so wonderful! Cannot wait. And appreciate her slides and your post here.
