  • Latino/A Children's and Young Adult Writers on the Art of Storytelling
    INTRODUCTION THE HEART AND ART OF LATINO/A YOUNG PEOPLE’S FICTION Frederick Luis Aldama In the last decade, I found myself reading literature that is not meant nor marketed for my age group. This coincides with my compulsive need to share in all aspects of my daughter’s life. Corina is ten. In the past, I have relished in the marvelous art and word swirls of children’s picture books. Today, I am indulging more and more in the literary recreations of the sensory, cogni- tive, and emotional life of tweens and teens—especially those works by Lati- no authors. While there has been no prescriptive menu set—all themes and characters are up for grabs—the floors, baskets, and shelves in our Latino- Filipino (or, Mexipino) household spill over with books created by Latino authors and illustrators. Putting together this book is personal. It is a way for me to think more deeply about all the literature that I gorge on under Corina’s careful direction. It is also more. Indeed, it is about putting front and center for others (parents, teachers, students, and scholars) the creators and creations that make up this growing corpus of literature that draws from and radically expands our plan- etary republic of letters. It is about understanding the journeys of Latino au- thors and artists who commit their time, energy, and skill to giving shape to narratives that at once vitally reflect the myriad of experiences of young Lati- nos in the United States and that invite others to share in these experiences.

  • A Queer History of the United States for Young People Discussion Guide
    A Queer History of the United States for Young People Discussion Guide Note to Educators: In the prologue to A Queer History of the United States for Young People, Michael Bronski notes that the “official” history of our nation often ignores certain groups of people, or erases parts of their identity, when they are mentioned in textbooks. He states, “For LGBTQ people—and especially youth and people just coming out—it’s not as easy to find out our true history. It’s not taught in schools” (p. xviii). It is extremely important for all students to understand the accomplishments, achievements, and contributions that lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and other queer (LGBTQ) individuals have made to United States history. LGBTQ students need role models that reinforce it is okay to be queer and that they are not alone. For the non-queer student, it is equally essential to learn that LGBTQ individuals were fighting for many social justice and issues throughout US history. Bronski acknowledges, “If we are erased from the history books, then how can we ever know who we are? This absence, this erasure, denies us the right and the ability to use our history as a guide, to feel pride in the heroism and accomplishments of the LGBTQ people who came before us. And it denies us the ability to use this history as a guide to the future so we can follow in their footsteps” (p. xix). A Queer History of the United States for Young People, adapted by Richie Chevat, provides a glimpse into some of the many contributions that queer people have made throughout our history.

  • New Picture Book Makes Trans and Nonbinary Inclusion As Fundamental As the Abcs
    New Picture Book Makes Trans and Nonbinary Inclusion as Fundamental as the ABCs With the current presidential administration rolling back protections for transgender and nonbinary students and adults, it’s more important than ever to instill in children a respect for and celebration of gender diversity. A new picture book, They, She, He easy as ABC dismantles rigid gender stereotypes and assumptions and encourages very young readers to practice using inclusive pronouns right alongside learning the alphabet. Written and illustrated by Pura Belpre Honor Award winner Maya Christina Gonzalez and joined by her partner Matthew, They, She, He easy as ABC is a playful rhyming celebration of children’s naturally diverse and exuberantly fluid expression. https://vimeo.com/330911530?loop=0 “Pronouns are one of the first ways that kids are taught to gender themselves and others. By linking gender inclusive pronouns with something as fundamental as learning the ABCs, we can model that gender inclusion is as essential as language acquisition.” – Maya Gonzalez, co-author & illustrator They, She, He easy as ABC continues the work started by Maya & Matthew in their previous debut book together, They She He Me: Free to Be! released in 2017 which School Library Journal gave a starred review saying“the authors have succeeded in creating a gorgeous and much-needed picture book about pronouns and gender fluidity. A beautiful and gentle exploration of identity and kindness.” Both books are part of theGender Wheel curriculum and published through Reflection Press, an independent publishing house founded by Maya and Matthew in 2009 with the intention to create the books about their communities they feel are missing from the traditional publishing scene.
