💭 Essential Question:
How can traditions grow to include and celebrate everyone?

[TheInspiredEducators @TheInspiredEd]

Looking for a powerful, inclusive read-aloud for Pride Month?
🌈 Meet Raven’s Ribbons by Tasha Spillett—an Indigenous story of identity, tradition, and self-expression. [🧵]

[TheInspiredEducators @TheInspiredEd]

Raven loves round dances and dreams of wearing a ribbon skirt. With his grandmother’s support, he learns traditions can evolve to embrace everybody.

📖 A perfect pick for June—and for building empathy year-round.
