“How can caregivers and educators best guide children to and through picture books with positive racial representations? How can we also support kids in resisting or reading against racist content? These tips draw on the Whole Book Approach (WBA, which I created in association with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art) and other resources to highlight how picture books can provoke meaningful, transformative conversations between children and adults that embrace race.”
Great ideas and additional links here! I hope you find something helpful or ideas to pass on to others. Take care! Becky

This is a wonderful resource, JeanMarie. Thanks so much for sharing it. Where did you find it? Are you sure you aren’t a closet librarian? 🙂

ha! No, not a librarian but I appreciate them. I have an account with Submittable. (https://www.submittable.com/) It is probably the most popular submission software for all manner of literary and scientific and otherwise journals and magazines. They send out a monthly newsletter with a smattering of articles from around the internet as well as a selection of current calls for submission calls culled from the journals that use their service. I always browse both to see what’s up.
