Reproduced with permission.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been building my Black history library since my junior year of college, when I taught third and fourth graders about the Harlem Renaissance. My library has been growing ever since, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57026/diversifying-your-classroom-book-collections-avoid-these-7-pitfalls\">whether you have a large collection of books or are just starting out\u003c/a>, there are always new titles for you to discover. Here are a few tips for getting started building your own collection of Black history-focused books.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Choose a Black history that interest\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>s y\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>ou\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As I am writing this right now, I cannot choose a single Black history that interests me the most; there are so many to choose from! \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13903957/a-new-doc-shows-how-oaklands-black-cowboys-keep-history-alive\">Cowboys\u003c/a> were my obsession last summer, and now it’s cuisine. But I also love learning about Black \u003ca href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2023/11/21/former-cass-tech-teachers-rescued-leroy-foster-artwork-now-displayed-cranbrook/\">artists\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60885/how-to-create-a-stem-dream-culture-for-all-students\">inventions and inventors\u003c/a> will always be an all-time fave. I also want to know everything I can about Africa. Do you get my point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62588/how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes\">history you feel drawn to\u003c/a>, find those books. Reading multiple books about a historical figure or event or theme helps us layer and add nuance to our thinking about Black history. Just the act of reading about multiple Black histories or seeking out several resources around a particular part of history is a way of saying that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61095/how-a-virginia-educator-teaches-black-history-with-joy\">Black histories are important\u003c/a>, worthy of our attention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61220/illinois-teachers-create-black-history-courses-to-fill-in-gaps-in-u-s-history-for-students\">worth digging into\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Find the commonality among books\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you begin to read and select books, you may start to see common themes or ideas emerging. For example, after reading \u003ca href=\"https://www.agatepublishing.com/9781572842243/crown/\">\u003cem>Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, I remembered that I had two books written and illustrated by Sharee Miller that celebrate hair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/dont-touch-my-hair/9780316562584/?lens=little-brown-books-for-young-readers\">\u003cem>Don’t Touch My Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/princess-hair/9780316441223/\"> \u003cem>Princess Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. These books became the beginning of a text set around hair (as part of a study of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62672/using-picture-books-and-classroom-dialogue-to-honor-and-respect-students-name\">identity\u003c/a>) and were a hit with \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62779 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png 445w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1-160x200.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\">students, who all found ways of connecting to this set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A single title may end up being a part of multiple text sets around different topics or themes. For example, I sometimes read\u003ca href=\"https://www.harpercollins.com/products/let-the-children-march-monica-clark-robinson?variant=39936194609186\"> \u003cem>Let the Children March\u003c/em>\u003c/a> alongside books about Martin Luther King Jr. because he is featured in that book and the book is set during the Civil Rights Movement. But other times I read it when we learn about Ruby Bridges so that my students can better understand the ways children participated in the Civil Rights Movement. As you begin to see similarities and connections among books, start creating your own collections lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is important to note that the resources that make up your collections may not always be picture books. Sometimes you may want to include a cookbook, chapter book, piece of art or song. Whatever the topic, educate yourself and then find the resources to educate your students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Keep an eye out for new favorites\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you read and share books, you and your students will notice some of the same authors and illustrators who have worked on multiple books about Black histories. For example, I had a class of kindergartners and first graders who could spot illustrations by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kadirnelson/\">Kadir Nelson\u003c/a> from a mile away. And as a teacher, I know that I can truly depend on books written by \u003ca href=\"https://cbweatherford.com/books/\">Carole Boston Weatherford\u003c/a> to deliver accurate information about different Black histories, whether about people or events. Keep an eye out for these authors and illustrators via their websites or social media accounts to see what they are currently working on and to get updates on book release dates.

James\u003c/a> is an early childhood, elementary and Black history educator and researcher from Kansas City, Missouri. She has given presentations and led workshops promoting Black history teaching in early childhood and elementary classrooms. Through consulting, Dawnavyn has supported teachers in numerous school districts as they work to teach Black history year-round through the use of picture books. She believes that picture books centering Black history are one of the greatest ways to bring Black histories into the classroom. She has taught students from kindergarten to fifth grade in Columbia, Missouri, but her favorite years of teaching were her three years with kindergartners. She received her teaching degree from Stephens College and is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University at Buffalo and is a fellow at the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. Dawnavyn is also the founder of The Black History Club, an organization that empowers and equips teachers and students with information and resources that will benefit themselves, their families and the community through engaging with Black histories.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Children's books are a great way to learn Black histories.

Reproduced with permission.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have been building my Black history library since my junior year of college, when I taught third and fourth graders about the Harlem Renaissance. My library has been growing ever since, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/57026/diversifying-your-classroom-book-collections-avoid-these-7-pitfalls\">whether you have a large collection of books or are just starting out\u003c/a>, there are always new titles for you to discover. Here are a few tips for getting started building your own collection of Black history-focused books.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Choose a Black history that interest\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>s y\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>ou\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As I am writing this right now, I cannot choose a single Black history that interests me the most; there are so many to choose from! \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13903957/a-new-doc-shows-how-oaklands-black-cowboys-keep-history-alive\">Cowboys\u003c/a> were my obsession last summer, and now it’s cuisine. But I also love learning about Black \u003ca href=\"https://www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2023/11/21/former-cass-tech-teachers-rescued-leroy-foster-artwork-now-displayed-cranbrook/\">artists\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/60885/how-to-create-a-stem-dream-culture-for-all-students\">inventions and inventors\u003c/a> will always be an all-time fave. I also want to know everything I can about Africa. Do you get my point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62588/how-two-teachers-spark-a-love-of-history-with-their-wardrobes\">history you feel drawn to\u003c/a>, find those books. Reading multiple books about a historical figure or event or theme helps us layer and add nuance to our thinking about Black history. Just the act of reading about multiple Black histories or seeking out several resources around a particular part of history is a way of saying that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61095/how-a-virginia-educator-teaches-black-history-with-joy\">Black histories are important\u003c/a>, worthy of our attention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/61220/illinois-teachers-create-black-history-courses-to-fill-in-gaps-in-u-s-history-for-students\">worth digging into\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Find the commonality among books\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you begin to read and select books, you may start to see common themes or ideas emerging. For example, after reading \u003ca href=\"https://www.agatepublishing.com/9781572842243/crown/\">\u003cem>Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, I remembered that I had two books written and illustrated by Sharee Miller that celebrate hair, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/dont-touch-my-hair/9780316562584/?lens=little-brown-books-for-young-readers\">\u003cem>Don’t Touch My Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharee-miller/princess-hair/9780316441223/\"> \u003cem>Princess Hair\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. These books became the beginning of a text set around hair (as part of a study of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/62672/using-picture-books-and-classroom-dialogue-to-honor-and-respect-students-name\">identity\u003c/a>) and were a hit with \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62779 alignleft\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1.png 445w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2023/11/dawnavyn-1-160x200.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\">students, who all found ways of connecting to this set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A single title may end up being a part of multiple text sets around different topics or themes. For example, I sometimes read\u003ca href=\"https://www.harpercollins.com/products/let-the-children-march-monica-clark-robinson?variant=39936194609186\"> \u003cem>Let the Children March\u003c/em>\u003c/a> alongside books about Martin Luther King Jr. because he is featured in that book and the book is set during the Civil Rights Movement. But other times I read it when we learn about Ruby Bridges so that my students can better understand the ways children participated in the Civil Rights Movement. As you begin to see similarities and connections among books, start creating your own collections lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is important to note that the resources that make up your collections may not always be picture books. Sometimes you may want to include a cookbook, chapter book, piece of art or song. Whatever the topic, educate yourself and then find the resources to educate your students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Keep an eye out for new favorites\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As you read and share books, you and your students will notice some of the same authors and illustrators who have worked on multiple books about Black histories. For example, I had a class of kindergartners and first graders who could spot illustrations by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kadirnelson/\">Kadir Nelson\u003c/a> from a mile away. And as a teacher, I know that I can truly depend on books written by \u003ca href=\"https://cbweatherford.com/books/\">Carole Boston Weatherford\u003c/a> to deliver accurate information about different Black histories, whether about people or events. Keep an eye out for these authors and illustrators via their websites or social media accounts to see what they are currently working on and to get updates on book release dates. There are also great social media accounts that share a wide variety of diverse picture books, including books about Black histories. Social media and book creators’ own websites are great ways to find and stay connected with the latest titles from our favorite authors and illustrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Share Black stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There is a true love for Black history-focused books in my classroom.

James\u003c/a> is an early childhood, elementary and Black history educator and researcher from Kansas City, Missouri. She has given presentations and led workshops promoting Black history teaching in early childhood and elementary classrooms. Through consulting, Dawnavyn has supported teachers in numerous school districts as they work to teach Black history year-round through the use of picture books. She believes that picture books centering Black history are one of the greatest ways to bring Black histories into the classroom. She has taught students from kindergarten to fifth grade in Columbia, Missouri, but her favorite years of teaching were her three years with kindergartners. She received her teaching degree from Stephens College and is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University at Buffalo and is a fellow at the Center for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education. Dawnavyn is also the founder of The Black History Club, an organization that empowers and equips teachers and students with information and resources that will benefit themselves, their families and the community through engaging with Black histories.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/62778/how-to-build-a-black-history-childrens-book-collection-for-your-classroom","authors":["4354"],"categories":["mindshift_21491","mindshift_21014","mindshift_194"],"tags":["mindshift_21534","mindshift_21516","mindshift_999","mindshift_21455","mindshift_21524","mindshift_1013","mindshift_21423","mindshift_20615"],"featImg":"mindshift_62781","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_60515":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_60515","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"60515","score":null,"sort":[1676458548000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"matching-students-with-books-is-a-sacred-task-how-educators-can-select-stories-that-boost-belonging","title":"Matching students with books is a sacred task.

But how do we establish opportunities for them to tell their stories and find themselves in the stories of others? When we share our hearts in authentic ways, we inspire those around us to do the same. Before we can discuss what it means to share our hearts through story, it might be helpful to establish what we mean by the word story. If you think about it, the way a third-grade teacher defines story is probably different from how a music teacher defines story. The way a music teacher defines story is probably different from how a teacher-librarian defines story.

These are all very important in the literacy work we do with children, but we can expand our idea of story as we consider other elements that may not be immediately evident—such as joy, happiness, compassion, laughter, connection, culture, and identity.

I really did want to have a book where you could read it and relax and just kind of subtly point out things that we can all do to improve how these kids grow up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On inspiring Black kids by depicting positive new narratives \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're trained in a lot of ways to be a second class citizen.

There just aren't a lot of happy stories. Even when I was a kid, the show \u003cem>Good Times\u003c/em> was very popular. But for a show called \"good times,\" they never really had any good times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... I have a teacher who emailed me [about how] all the kids were going around saying what they wanted to do when they grow up [and] a Black kid in class goes, \"Well, if I live to be 18, I hope to... \" So, I wanted to have a book where there is hope. In \u003cem>School Trip\u003c/em>, which comes out in April, the kids go to Paris. And I'm already reading some early reviews [about how people] love the book...but occasionally someone will go \"well I don't think the kids will be able to relate going to Paris... But [a] kid could relate to being a wizard like Harry Potter or going into space or going back in time or any of the other fantasy things. But a Black kid won't be able to relate to going to another country... If I wrote about a dystopian future where a 13-year-old white kid saves the world single handedly, that's relatable?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, when I do new kid in class, not only am I doing this for kids to show that they do have hope and futures — but I also want to point out to parents and some of the teachers and librarians who put these emotional and mental shackles on their kids [thinking] 'I'm not even going to give them this book because [they'll] never be able to relate to going to Paris.' ...Why can't a kid have those kinds of aspirations where one day they're like, 'Oh, wow, I'd like to go there like Jordan Banks did' as opposed to, 'Hey, here's another gang book.' So what? I can relate to that, I can relate to being in a gang. I can relate to being enslaved... but it's such a discrepancy. ...They give them all these hard stories and then they forget that they're kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On representation in children and young adult books\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I do these [school visits] on zoom or in person, it's about me being a very reluctant reader.

And I think most times kids empathize with the main characters. I don't think that kids ever empathize with the bullies. And if they do, I don't think that you're doing your job as a parent properly. Because when I read a graphic novel like \u003cem>El Deafo \u003c/em>by Cece Bell, which is amazing, or \u003cem>Hey, Kiddo, \u003c/em>Jarrett J.

I have white kids dressing up like Jordan Banks and Drew for Halloween. It's one of their favorite characters, kids don't emulate the bad guys.

I don't know what it's like at 12 years old to realize that I'm gay and I want to come out to my parents who are going to hate me and disown me because of that.

Would I be speaking differently to a man than to a woman? It just didn't sit right. And I thought, are we hard wired to believe this? And so I went on a quest to find out if indeed we were hard wired. And I found that we're not. Because very quickly, once I got to know people, it became totally irrelevant... people are people.

And as a literature professor myself, I can tell you that literature from the Bible to Chaucer to Shakespeare to Faulkner deals with difficult topics because those aspects of life are the materials literature... it's not to be provocative or to distress anyone, but because when we want to write about human experience honestly and completely, we have to include the pain of being a person. And so I think that \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> is literature. And in many ways, what book banners in the present moment are suggesting is that literature that honestly engages human experience is somehow inappropriate for teenagers. And when we hear things like 'there is pornographic content in school libraries,' what we're really hearing is engagement with human experience, such as sexual experience — we're hearing that being portrayed as pornographic. But that's not that's not that's not true of \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> or the other books that have been vilified in this movement any more than it's true of the Bible being pornographic because it has sexual content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On books about the past being resonant in the present \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> I was trying to do something a little bit different, which was to write the historical novel that readers like my students wouldn't be able to put down. A historical novel that, though being about the past, would seem powerfully resonant with their lives. In \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em>, for example, I engaged the histories of school segregation in Texas, not just the ways that schools were segregated to separate Black Americans and white American students, but also what happened to Mexican American kids or anyone who was didn't fit into those categories. Texas had \"Mexican schools\" that were unequal in different ways and in some ways more damaging. And my students didn't know that history. So I thought with \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> about what my former students would want in a book about the past so that it would speak to them now. And a lot of what they wanted was honesty, not to see things sugarcoated or sanitized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On bans overwhelmingly targeting authors who are marginalized\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be people who buy the book because of hearing this interview. But for the hundreds of authors whose works have been banned but who haven't been interviewed on NPR, this can be career ending. I mean, losing access to school and library markets can be career ending for authors. And since these bans are overwhelmingly targeting people — authors of color and authors with other marginalized identities, this is a real threat to the modest progress we've made in diversifying children's literature and literature for young adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Claire Murashima produced the broadcast version of this story.

And as a literature professor myself, I can tell you that literature from the Bible to Chaucer to Shakespeare to Faulkner deals with difficult topics because those aspects of life are the materials literature... it's not to be provocative or to distress anyone, but because when we want to write about human experience honestly and completely, we have to include the pain of being a person. And so I think that \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> is literature. And in many ways, what book banners in the present moment are suggesting is that literature that honestly engages human experience is somehow inappropriate for teenagers. And when we hear things like 'there is pornographic content in school libraries,' what we're really hearing is engagement with human experience, such as sexual experience — we're hearing that being portrayed as pornographic. But that's not that's not that's not true of \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> or the other books that have been vilified in this movement any more than it's true of the Bible being pornographic because it has sexual content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On books about the past being resonant in the present \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> I was trying to do something a little bit different, which was to write the historical novel that readers like my students wouldn't be able to put down. A historical novel that, though being about the past, would seem powerfully resonant with their lives. In \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em>, for example, I engaged the histories of school segregation in Texas, not just the ways that schools were segregated to separate Black Americans and white American students, but also what happened to Mexican American kids or anyone who was didn't fit into those categories. Texas had \"Mexican schools\" that were unequal in different ways and in some ways more damaging. And my students didn't know that history. So I thought with \u003cem>Out of Darkness\u003c/em> about what my former students would want in a book about the past so that it would speak to them now. And a lot of what they wanted was honesty, not to see things sugarcoated or sanitized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On bans overwhelmingly targeting authors who are marginalized\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be people who buy the book because of hearing this interview. But for the hundreds of authors whose works have been banned but who haven't been interviewed on NPR, this can be career ending. I mean, losing access to school and library markets can be career ending for authors. And since these bans are overwhelmingly targeting people — authors of color and authors with other marginalized identities, this is a real threat to the modest progress we've made in diversifying children's literature and literature for young adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Claire Murashima produced the broadcast version of this story.

As a kid, I believed this without a question. Why not? As a little girl, it seemed to me that he was so strong. Then, when I was a teenager, I would think twice about it: \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">really\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">? \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would that be possible?\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Although it sounded a little bit unreal, my answer to that question was never ‘no.’ There was something about my abuelo (\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">grandfather\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), that made it possible to believe it. If somebody else would have come and told me the same thing, I would not have believed it. But my abuelo, yes! How could he not, if he told us in all detail how he lifted the cows and took them back with him carrying them over his shoulders? This is exactly what Márquez keeps teaching me, every time I read and re-read his books, and what has inspired me at Habla: to believe in the power that language and stories have to connect people.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first time I read \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was in the summer after my freshman year in college.

Márquez goes beyond the question of what is real and what is not, what is a fact and what is magical, to blend the limits and to take language and culture to shape how we see and think and represent things. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maybe a personal example can illustrate this idea of magical realism.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-47337 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2016/07/100-Years-e1484317163834.jpeg\" alt=\"One Hundred Years of Solitude \" width=\"250\" height=\"367\">When I was little, my grandfather would tell my brothers and I that he used to carry cows, emphasizing that he carried them over his shoulders. As a kid, I believed this without a question. Why not? As a little girl, it seemed to me that he was so strong. Then, when I was a teenager, I would think twice about it: \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">really\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">? \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would that be possible?\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Although it sounded a little bit unreal, my answer to that question was never ‘no.’ There was something about my abuelo (\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">grandfather\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), that made it possible to believe it. If somebody else would have come and told me the same thing, I would not have believed it. But my abuelo, yes! How could he not, if he told us in all detail how he lifted the cows and took them back with him carrying them over his shoulders? This is exactly what Márquez keeps teaching me, every time I read and re-read his books, and what has inspired me at Habla: to believe in the power that language and stories have to connect people.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first time I read \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was in the summer after my freshman year in college.

People discount it as sort of childish, but I feel that this book is so important, and relevant and deep for all ages. It’s based on the true story of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan in the 1980s, a boy named Salva who had to flee his village because of the violence and ended up walking, basically, across East Africa. He ended up in two refugee camps, and then was adopted by a foster family in Rochester, New York. The story is interwoven with the story of a girl named Nya in Sudan in the 2000s, just going through how her day focuses on fetching water every day.

It’s such a disempowering and untrue story that ignores the powerful, smart and ingenious people within Africa. And what I love about this book is the boy, Salva, by the end of the book is incredibly empowered and important, educated and helpful to his community. He’s not just waiting around for people from the outside to help, he’s someone from within the community who has gone through great hardships and come back to help his community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a teacher, it made me realize how important it is to provide opportunities for young people, especially when often you don’t know the background that they come from.

I love that detail because it shows how, again I sort of think people have this single story of Africa as being sort of brutish, like there are two groups or many groups of people who hate each other and they never get past it. So this is showing someone from within that community taking on that negative and changing it.
