An incredible gift & immense responsibility to be adapting Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass for our young adults. Watch for it Fall 2022🤗 @LernerBooks@Milkweed_Books
A8: If you are looking for more resources to read by Indigenous authors may I suggest “Tilly" by @ltldrum and "Sometimes I feel like a Fox" by Danielle Daniel. #Shelfietalk#BECEUNB#21things
@MegAnderson1984@ltldrum It will forever be a favourite. There is so much learning that can be done through this book and the illustrations are stunning.
A7: Thank you Bob Joseph @wewap . You have deepened my thinking about the histories of Indigenous Peoples and the calls to action I can support. #Shelfietalk
A6: Bob Joseph shares 21 things to do to help change the world. I am committed to reading books by Indigenous authors to my children and the children I work with. #Shelfietalk
A5: The first step to support the 94 calls to action was to get informed. Now it’s time to act. I will continue to seek education from and support Indigneous creators. As Bob says, “reconciliation is not an Indigenous problem, it is a Canadian problem.” #Shelfietalk
A4: Relevant call to action: It is imperative we work on improving education about Indigenous cultures by calling on the leaders in charge.This will create paths to reconciliation through knowledge and action.#63 #Shelfietalk
A3: This book has broadened my understanding by learning from an Indigenous voice. People are suffering from trauma they experienced sometimes two or three generations ago. It has helped me understand Indigenous issues of today and the injustices they face. #Shelfietalk
A2: I’m completely appalled at what many Indigenous peoples have and continue to face.What resonates with me after reading 21Things is how much the Indigenous people have lost by the hands of the very people who should look after all their citizens. #Shelfietalk
A1: #21things is a look into the horrendous past of what Indigenous peoples suffered from the Canadian government, a look at the atrocities of the Indian act and its amendments and a hope for a better future of reconciliation. #Shelfietalk
“For every book you read that is about a specific experience of oppression, read another that features that identity through joy. Kids deserve to see themselves represented in books as more than just a teaching point or a tragic story https://t.co/cHKeNIGh7w #BECEUNB#Shelfietalk
