Stunning and brilliant ❤️

In Maggie Tokuda-Hall's words, her grandparents' 'improbable joy does not excuse virulent racism, nor does it minimize the pain, the trauma, and the deaths that resulted from it. But it is to situate it into the deeply American tradition of racism.' maggie tokuda-hall (updates only)

Eid is a little over two weeks away! To celebrate, I’m giving away a few copies of The Night Before Eid. Just follow me and Retweet!

As AI technologies change education, “the required instructional adjustment will have to be more social,” says Matthew R. Kay. “We will have to be able to lead students in meaningful classroom discourse about big ideas.”

Let’s be clear on this: it’s not “grooming” to advocate for gender-affirming care for trans people.

There also isn’t a “trans debate” — trans people exist. You cannot debate someone’s existence.

It’s on all of us to draw a line in the sand on this hateful rhetoric.

2 days ago ESPN produced a segment called ‘Caitlin Clark: Queen of Clap Backs 👑’. The focus; her clapping, “You’re down 15 points. Shut up,” and of course the “you can’t see me” hand wave.

Her “trash talk” was embraced and celebrated. It wasn’t stigmatized and pathologized.

This. Listen to Angel Reece’s press after the game. She is a respectful, thoughtful team leader/player. She talks of Caitlin Clark with respect & notes this double standard. The treatment she is enduring at the hands of “adults” is disgusting. None of us should stand for it.

Y'all ever wonder about those sneakers hanging on wires on your block? I am SUPER excited for y'all to read this one. It's my fav of all my books!🌈 'Kicks in the Sky' Coming Next September!! #Kicksinthesky #KITS #KidLit #Picturebooks #childrensbooks #TheBronx

A great day working on our upcoming book on classroom design. Lucky to be working with this team at ⁦National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)⁩! ⁦LB (she, her, hers)⁩

This is really what education in our country has come to. What happened to putting students first?

With baseball season approaching - check out this amazing virtual author event opportunity with Matt Tavares. The illustrations and story are glorious. This also includes student book club vlogs by the amazing LB (she, her, hers) - TY Bookelicious. bookelicious.com/blog/the-best-…

Makes no good sense other than hate.
