Repost from @bnplit using @RepostRegramApp - I love that the older and older I get the more I learn about amazing Black women who were amazing activists. Growing up I knew about Rosa Parks (even saw her in person back in the 90’s in Los Angeles. One of my favorite childhood stories But that’s for another day). After high school I learned about Claudette Colvin a teenage activist that history tried forget due to colorism and respectability politics as she was a pregnant teen. I’ve never heard of a Elizabeth Jennings whose life and activism predates both of them. 🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 In 1854, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Jennings, an African American schoolteacher, fought back when she was unjustly denied entry to a New York City streetcar, sparking the beginnings of the long struggle to gain equal rights on public transportation. 🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Lizzie decided to take her case to court and Her victory was the first recorded in the fight for equal rights on public transportation, and Lizzie’s case set a precedent. Author Beth Anderson and acclaimed illustrator E. B. Lewis bring this inspiring, little-known story to life in this book. A big shoutout to @boydsmillskane For sending us this review copy of this amazing tale that I want to share again and again! #elizabethjennings #kidlit #socialactivism #bnplit #boydsmillspress https://www.instagram.com/p/B63TDU7Fqqp/?igshid=1dw0v5g1ice6p

📚Thanks to @kidlitexchange #partner for this review copy of Terrific Tongues by Maria Gianferrari, Illustrated by Jia Liu @lost_jia and published by @boydsmillspress - All opinions are my own 🐍 This is a non- fiction book that your little readers are sure to love! I did not realize there were so many variations of tongues out there! My 3, 6, and 11 year old gave two thumbs up for silly read aloud with cool animal facts and great illustrations! The text reads like a picture book but it's filled with information. It would be great to use in a classroom discussing animal adaptations or the five senses. Also helpful are the extra facts and resources in the back to further your studies! ⭐Published in April 2018- available on Amazon - here is my affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2KQgCXM⭐ #kidlitexchange #terrifictongues #mariagianferrari #jialiu #boydsmillspress #picturebook #bookstagram #nonfiction #childrensbook #stemed #steam #childrensillustration #scienceiscool #scienceforpreschoolers #kidsbooksofig #animallife #animaladaptations #fivesenses #earlylearning #biologyforkids

Ever have a moment when something just CLICKED and you really understood the appeal of it for the first time? I was never a huge fan of cumulative stories like The House That Jack Built until I had one of those "NOW I GET IT" moments, upon reading Barbara S. Garriel's "I Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello" (2004). Based on the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly, this book takes everything to a droll extreme, with the shy fellow in question gulping down instrument after musical instrument in a weird, wonderful, sing-song story that's a great introduction to the orchestra for young kids. John O'Brien's illustrations are as warped and whimsical as the tale itself, and so much fun. A really delightful read-aloud! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #iknowashyfellowwhoswallowedacello #barbarasgarriel #barbaragarriel #johnobrien #johnobrienart #music #booksaboutmusic #musicalinstrument #musicalinstruments #oldladywhoswallowedafly #cumulativestories #cumulativestory #cumulative #repetition #repetitivestories #storysongs #storysong #picturebooks #foundpictures #learningthroughreading #bookloversnostalgia #coolkidsbooks #kidslibrary #readaloudrevival #readtokids #childrensbookillustration #boydsmillspress https://www.instagram.com/p/B2kTJHWnBTa/?igshid=1eqed7e9fy58j

regram @amylvpoemfarm A lovely review!! Thank you, @thebabybookworm! Repost: Hello, friends! Today’s book is Read! Read! Read!, poems written by Amy Ludwig VanDerwater and illustrated Ryan O’Rourke, a joyful and moving ode to books and reading for little ones. Comprised of twenty-three poems written in different styles and forms, the reader is pulled into a celebration of reading, especially the impact that reading can have on a child. Books, magazines, newspapers, road signs, even the backs of cereal boxes; no type of reading is excluded or frowned upon. The poems explore the joy of getting lost in a thrilling story, how great books can change us or guide us through difficult times, and how we carry each tale we’ve read with us as we change and grow. This book was an absolute delight. I was hesitant about a poem collection for JJ, considering the length, but this was so worth it. The poems themselves are bite-sized, only taking one or two minutes to read apiece, and the entire book can be completed comfortably in one sitting. And what marvelous poems they are, capturing the special relationship that children have with books and reading, and the impact that reading anything and everything can make on one’s life as they mature (the poem about Charlotte’s Web helping a young girl understand how to deal with grief was especially powerful). The illustrations are simply perfect, capturing the mood of each poem spectacularly and building fanciful and imaginative worlds around them. This one is a treasure, and JJ and I both loved it. Perfect for the little bookworm in your life, any age, and it’s Baby Bookworm approved! Be sure to check out our website at thebabybookwormblog.wordpress.com for more reviews!
