Happy birthday week #MargaretWiseBrown! Born May 23, 1910 Brown was an iconic queer author of picture books like The Important Book (1949) & Goodnight Moon (1947). She was featured in our 2005 exhibit The Picture Book Made New: Margaret Wise Brown & her Illustrators.

Does this photo outweigh all the others? Some think so. It’s why I’m losing my job. But I’m proud of the work of our @CTULocal1 — which includes all @CoonleyES teachers. We fight for what’s right. @SSKedreporter @bylaurenfitz @ILRaiseYourHand @NaderDIssa / end of 🧵/
