Mid-week vibe.

This morning I learned two things about this book of mine: it’s been nominated for an award — and removed from classrooms and school libraries in a city in Texas, along with many others. The overwhelming majority of those other books are by and/or about people of color.

Excited to see the Chinese version of my book: Tu Youyou’s Discovery. Young readers in my home country can now read and be inspired by this amazing woman scientist! 🎉🍀📚Albert Whitman & Co. #k12 #nonfiction #womenintech #womeninSTEM #STEM #STEAM #asian #aapi Picture Book Gold
