It was my honor and a career highlight to be a keynote speaker on the mainstage at #ALAAC25. G'chii miigwech! #IndigenousAuthors #NativeKidLit #Anishinaabe #Ojibwe #FirekeepersDaughter #WarriorGirlUnearthed #SistersintheWind @fiercereads.bsky.social
Today we read with first graders, When We Are Kind written by Monique Gray Smith (Cree/Lakota) and illustrated by Nicole Neidhardt (Diné). We talked about what kindness means, kindness to the land, to our elders and self. "elders" was a new word for some. 🖤 #nativekidlit #librarylife
