Meer over het boek

In 2020, our nation faced a novel pandemic that ravaged our vulnerable populations, closed businesses and schools and taxed medical professionals hearts and energy. Horrific murders of black men and a woman at the hands of police officers led protestor to march for the end of systemic racism in our country.As I was sheltering in place with my family, I began using my experience as a teacher and mother to write a guide to help parents effectively support their children's remote learning and to also help them know that learning is broader than classroom walls and can be taught through stories, books, experiences and especially accurate history.As the events in our country called for action and change, I knew my words had to echo this movement to help parents not just teach their children well, but to also ask themselves questions that helped them examine their own hearts, values, thoughts and beliefs as they raise children who are not only hopeful and resilient, but ready for action that leads to positive change.
