Book Lists!

Authors You Should Know, Awards, She Spoke, The Runaway Shirt

Thank you to Colorado Parent for including The Runaway Shirt in their roundup of books about chores and family responsibilities:

 

Also announced this week: 

2021 Rise: A Feminist Book Project List. This excellent list of 2020 titles, divided into Early Readers, Middle Grade, and Young Adult categories, with fiction and nonfiction categories, highlights quality feminist literature for young readers. She Spoke was an honoree on last year’s list, and we are so excited to see the excellent company it continues to have, with so many books that provide inspiration for young readers. In the words of the Rise Committee: “As we take stock of what we have lost, we must continue to fight. We must hold both in our hearts: the past and the future.” Congratulations to all of the honorees!

Laundry Love Storytime Tomorrow on Instagram

Resources for Teachers and Librarians, The Runaway Shirt, Upcoming events

It is a truth universally acknowledged that doing laundry is not fun – unless you have a little one around to make it into a game, or really cool tools to make it easier.  I have long been a fan of the SmartKlean Laundry Ball, a mineral-based cleaner that effectively washes 365 loads of fabrics without harsh chemicals, soap or detergent. So I was delighted when SmartKlean invited me to take over their Instagram feed for a storytime celebrating laundry fun with The Runaway Shirt! Join me on Thursday, September 10 at 11 AM Eastern for a Laundry Love Storytime!
