Taking a couple of weeks off of IMWAYR before the school year starts — see you after my break 🙂
To see what books I’ve been reading until then, check out my 2020 Goodreads Challenge page or my read bookshelf on Goodreads.

To start, I read Django Paris and H. Samy Alim’s co-edited Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies: Teaching and Learning for Justice in a Changing World. This book is amazing. I found it to be so inspiring and had to limit the number of times I cite it in the book I am writing!
My kids love the Ana and Andrew series, so it’s no surprise that they loved Dancing at Carnival and Summer and Savannah by Christine Platt. This one is available as a read-along on hoopla, and after we read them, the kids asked to read them again.
I never managed to read Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld, so I am glad that I was able to find a library copy of it in e-book form. This book is quite charming, and it was fun for my kids to experience an illusion like this for the first time. They call it an illusion, right?
In Spork by Kyo Maclear, a spork doesn’t feel like he fits in, but he learns that he is juuuust right. This is a really cute story, and it offers great opportunities for conversations with kids like fitting in and individuality.

I am reading a lot of books concurrently right now! One that I’ll mention is Zetta Elliot’s Dragons in a Bag. It’s really great, and the kids LOVE it.

I absolutely enjoyed Dragons in a Bag.
I haven’t heard of the Ana and Andrew series so thanks for the heads up about those books.
Thanks for mentioning Spork. It is created by two of my favourite Canadian authors and I haven’t read it yet! That will soon be remedied.
Happy reading this week.
