By beginning early and sharing age appropriate books that help kids see through gender assumptions, gender creative kids can relax and trust that they are perfectly natural and valuable. For Kids, Call Me Tree offers opportunities to: Become aware of gender assumptions and stereotypes and step away from "guessing" people's pronouns and gender based on stereotypes. Many of us assume a child with short hair, dressed in a t-shirt and pants is a cisgender boy. How did the character change over the course of the book? Jan 05, Alma rated it really liked it. Kirkus Reviews. Through the letter to readers kids understand that guessing about someone's gender based on how they look can leave a lot of people out. The American Library Association. And they pretty much mean the same thing every time someone looks at them. There are much better books available for this purpose. The Bay Area Reporter. Yet they all have roots and they all belong on the earth and in the world. Aug 19, Tasha rated it really liked it Shelves: picture-books. Retrieved 30 April Even so, it's more of a curriculum connection than something a child will pick up for an independent reading selection. I'm a tree person, and this book is wonderfully resonant.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • 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.

Gonzalez is a co-founder of the publishing house, Reflection Press. This early gift inspired her to start drawing and introduced her to how art can help Call Me Tree: Llamame Arbol. At age thirteen, Gonzalez and her family moved to rural Oregon where she experienced racism and homophobia. This is when she began painting. Gonzalez was prompted to move from Oregon to San Francisco after she was shot at while living in a lesbian wilderness community. After leaving school with only a few art classes taken, Gonzalez explored creating her Call Me Tree: Llamame Arbol art. At this time, Gonzales was interested in exploring the nature of "reality, consciousness and how these relate to creativity" and was very influenced by Jane Roberts ' channeling of another consciousness that Roberts referred to as Seth. Harriet asked if she would be interested in illustrating children's books which is ultimately what lead Gonzal to her passion for illustrating. InGonzalez suffered from a toxic dose of chemicals in a print-making accident. I'm in line with my beliefs and completely out of line with the beliefs of the dominant culture. Gonzalez's art depicts non-stereotypical images of people, including overweight individuals and empowered women. Gonzalez considers it very important as a child to see oneself depicted in books.

  • Children's Literature Bibliographies
    appendix C Children’s Literature Bibliographies Developed in consultation with more than a dozen experts, this bibliography is struc- tured to help you find and enjoy quality literature, and to help you spend more time read- ing children’s books than a textbook. It is also structured to help meet the needs of elementary teachers. The criteria used for selection are • Because it is underused, an emphasis on multicultural and international literature • Because they are underrepresented, an emphasis on the work of “cultural insiders” and authors and illustrators of color • High literary quality and high visual quality for picture books • Appeal to a dual audience of adults and children • A blend of the old and the new • Curricular usefulness to practicing teachers • Suitable choices for permanent classroom libraries Many of the books are award winners. To help you find books for ELLs, I have placed a plus sign (+) if the book is writ- ten in both English and another language. To help you find multicultural authors and il- lustrators, I have placed an asterick (*) to indicate that the author and/or illustrator is a member of underrepresented groups. They are also often cultural insiders. I identify the ethnicity of the authors only if they are is clearly identified in the book. Appendix D in Encountering Children’s Literature: An Arts Approach by Jane Gangi (2004) has a com- plete list of international and multicultural authors who correspond with the astericks. Some writers and illustrators of color want to be known as good writers and good illustrators, not as good “Latino” or “Japanese American” writers and/or illustrators.

  • Pride Month Resource List
    LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Resources for Teachers, Staff and Families Times may be tough, but there’s no stopping the celebration of the spectrum of human experience in June. We are here to commemorate the generations lost to years of persecution and to epidemics like the AIDs crisis, as well as show love to today’s LGBTQIA+ people of all ages, genders, sexualities, and orientations. This year (2021), the Dobbs Ferry Public Schools have teamed up to mark an intersectional Pride Month by creating a resource list in partnership with the Dobbs Ferry Public Library. Springhurst librarian Lauren Rodriguez, Middle/High School media specialist Ellen Elsen, and K-8 Literacy Coordinator Michelle Yang-Kaczmarek have teamed up with Dobbs Ferry Public Library children’s librarian Gina Elbert and teen librarian Allee Manning to create this resource list to help you dive deeper into queer literature for kindergarten through 12th grade. This is a sampling of available resources and not an exhaustive list. If you would like help finding more, please contact your librarian(s).
