So great to learn that our ABLAZE WITH COLOR was read aloud at Hirshhorn Museum to inspire children by asking 'What colors do you see when you walk outside?' And then after looking at an #AlmaThomas painting, they collaboratively created colorful works of art. Megan Ilnitzki

Two of my childhood friends passed away this week. We’re now at the age where our peers aren’t primarily dying from violence. They’re dying from BAD HEALTH. Please, let’s all commit to taking care of ourselves to the best extent that we can. We all deserve long and healthy lives.

The Spark in You is set against the vibrant backdrop of carnival where a little girl uses all of her creative energy to get ready for her neighborhood bloco. Through her eyes the story celebrates individual expression and the explosion of light, color, and flavor of the festival.

I'm still smiling about our Ablaze with Color-A Story of Painter Alma Thomas being nominated for the 2024 #NutmegBookAward in the elementary (grades 2 to 3) book category along with Erin Dealey ☮️ 🌎 DEAR EARTH = Happy EARTH Year!'s Earth…From Your Friends in Room Five. Thank you CT #library sponsors!!

In June 1969, police raided Stonewall Inn, a Manhattan gay bar. It was not the first LGBTQIA+ uprising, but the events that ensued were pivotal for the liberation movement and served as a catalyst for Pride month.

Remember: Pride is a protest.
