One child. One thoughtful idea. A neighborhood reminded that kindness can bring everyone together.
I read Miya's Mooncakes by Crystal Z. Lee with my seven-year-old grandson. We loved learning about the Mid-Autumn Festival, exploring the colorful illustrations, and spotting the cat throughout the story!
Visit the blog for my review and an interview with Crystal Z. Lee.
As Sue walks to school, she admires the beautiful blue sky. But on the playground, she discovers a surprising truth: each of her friends sees the sky as a different color, depending on where they are from. Sue's Sky encourages young readers to accept and value the unique perspectives of the people around them.

You can probably guess how rare and bad #disability representation is in kids books, so I really appreciate this picture book about #YayoiKusama . It talks in first-person about seeing things other people don't, a pumpkin talking to her, and living at a hospital. (Also about being poor, protesting the Vietnam war, and getting arrested.)
A lot of kids know her work and do polka-dot art assignments at school too; she's not just some adult celebrity they've never heard of.

Does anyone else remember Value Tales? A series of picture books for kids, that used the stories of famous people from around the world to explore values like honesty, curiosity, and determination.
Each book had a historical blurb about the person featured in the story, many of which I read as an older child. They included people like Harriet Tubman, Cochise, Margaret Mead, Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie, Louis Pasteur, Helen Keller and Confucius.
