The people remember that like the rising and setting sun, the winds turning from cool to warm. they can change a time, a today, a tomorrow, but never the past. The people remember that they have the power to change this nation. KUJICHAGULIA. Self-determination. QOTD: What diverse children's book taught you something? Thanks to @harperkids for the gifted copy. I am always grateful for opportunities to read diasporic books. Reading The People Remember by Haitian author Ibi Zoboi and illustrator Love is Wise was a beautiful and immersive experience. It is always special when a book depicts true black history and fosters in pride our ancestral beliefs and practices. I learned so much but I also got reminders of how far black people have come despite America's history continuing to repeat itself. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and the writing is full of rich history. I wish they had books like these when I was growing up. Seeing accurate history and diverse representation in literature in childhood can be transformative and helps with self esteem building, promotes community building and emotional intelligence, as well as builds empathy. I hope this book makes its way to every classroom library. I highly recommend everyone pick up a copy and share it with all the children in your life. Summary will be in the comments. #ThePeopleRemember #IbiZoboi #LoveisWise #HarperKids #books #bookstagram #childrensbooks #bookphotos #bookworm #reading #bibliophile #BooksandMurals #bookish #ownvoices #diaspora #BlackAuthors #BlackLiterature #bookfeature #bookstagrammer #HarperInfluencer #bookreview #bookrecommendation #illustrated #booksbooksbooks #bookdragon (at Brooklyn Beer Garden-Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvrlW0LqhF/?utm_medium=tumblr
