This is Swati Rayasam, your very special guest editor for tonight's episode of APEX Express. Tonight we're going to listen in on a wonderful hybrid book club event from AACRE, Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality a collective of Progressive Asian organizations that APEX is a part of. [00:00:55] Swati: This book Club event was so sweet and so lovely, and [00:01:00] admittedly was very eye-opening for me as someone who has quote unquote graduated from children's books, but more about that later. I wanted to also flag for listeners that because this was a hybrid event, there are some weird bumps and pops as a result of the recording that impact the audio quality just a bit. Hopefully it's not too distracting, but whatever you may not be able to fully hear, we've tried our best to capture in either the transcript or the show notes. [00:01:29] Swati: Now, without further ado, I'll pass you along to Miko over in Children's Book Landia, AKA East Wind Books in Berkeley. Stay locked in!  [00:01:43] Miko Lee: We are thrilled to be here and every time we talk about getting a book, of course where you go to buy that book is here in Berkeley at East Wind Books or online. So we are thrilled to see you all and as some of you know, initially today [00:02:00] was gonna be with Innosanto Nagara and I sent stuff out on Ino and then just, we had this whole last minute mix up. We're gonna showcase some of his books, but instead, B was amazing to recommend Ko Kim. And then I learned about Ko's book, which was just so exciting. So we're gonna start off just with Ko reading through the book and having you all ask questions of Ko, and then Ko and I are gonna talk about our favorite AAPI children's books so that you all can get your gift ons for the holidays and for baby stuff that's coming up. [00:02:33] Miko Lee: There's so many. When I was growing up, I was longing for books that represented our community and now there are so many that represent our intersectionality, our diversity, our specific communities. So there are so many things that we will share with you soon. [00:02:51] Miko Lee: But first, I wanna take a moment to just introduce Ko. We are so happy that she joined us last minute. She worked with two amazing illustrators, Christine [00:03:00] Yoon and Andrew Hem and co grew up 10 minutes from the US Mexico border and like so many of us just felt invisible in school. She didn't see herself in textbooks and in bookshelves or anywhere. And that isolation motivated her to become an educator, a public school teacher in title one schools. So she got the traditional education with a masters at Stanford, but keeping it real in the community with low income students showcasing what progressive education can be about. And I'm gonna now throw it to Ko. Thank you Ko, so much for joining us. [00:03:37] Ko Kim: Wow. Thank you Miko, for that introduction. I wanna carry you everywhere I go, and just have you introduce me. Cuz, that was such a beautifully done one. And I just wanna say thank you everyone for the honor of being here. I love community. I love learning in community. I really want this to be a learning space, so before we begin, it sounds like from the audience, I heard a lot of folks saying they like picture books. They're looking [00:04:00] for more resources, they have nieces and nephews in their lives or a baby on the way. [00:04:05] Ko Kim: So I wanted to share a quick resource. I'm sure a lot of you follow Bookstagrammers on Instagram. There is a whole ecosystem of children's book Instagrammers. Some of them are Berkeley native slash assistant principal Shuli who runs Asian Lit for Kids. [00:04:21] Ko Kim: And then there's also my story books who's based in Southern California. Just a little heads up there.  [00:04:27] Ko Kim: So as Miko mentioned, I created a book with Christine Yoon and Andrew Hem called We Are Gems: Healing From Anti-Asian Microaggressions Through Self Love and Solidarity. What a title. Christine Yoon is by the way, an ER doctor who's also an artist, Andrew Hem started off as a street artist and now his work is seen globally and his murals are in over, I believe 10 countries.    [00:04:50] Ko Kim: Andrew identifies as Cambodian American. Christine and I identify as Korean American, and I think context is important here because I think stories in our own voices are really important. [00:05:00]  [00:04:59] Ko Kim: We are Gems shimmering with wisdom handed down from our Asian and Asian American elders. You may face cuts and scrapes called microaggressions, but like those before you, your inner luster will blaze if placed in shared liberation. Shared liberation is solidarity with our Black and Indigenous neighbors against systemic racism, lost traditions and behaviors that harm people with African and Indigenous roots from classrooms to courtrooms, only through solidarity will we glisten. [00:05:32] Ko Kim: So when people ask you where are you really from? Reply that you are at home as long as you hold sacred the air, water, soil, animals and plants. Reply that you are at home when you honor Indigenous elders. Then ask in return, how are we taking care of all that has life? When Indigenous youth and elders resist polluting pipes, how do we respond? [00:05:56] Ko Kim: Our liberation is bound to the life and dignity of Indigenous [00:06:00] peoples. When they advise you to speak up, tell them to listen closely, our voices have been roaring for generations. Then ask, how intently do you listen to the hopes and dreams of Black activists leaders? For seven decades, Grace Lee Bogs rallied for fair wages and housing alongside Black community organizers [unclear] introduced civil disobedience to the Highlander Folk School, helping Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. prepare for the fight for freedom. Our liberation is tied to Black joy. When people try to commend you with, you are unlike the others. Reply that you're not straining yourself toward the dull cast of saying this and tell them, I am blooming as myself under the light of the divine and the glow of our grandmothers, our liberation is self love. [00:06:49] Ko Kim: Thank you so much. [00:06:51] Miko Lee: So thank you Ko for sharing your new book with us. I wanna open it up to see if anybody has any questions for [00:07:00] Ko And while you're thinking about those questions, I wanna just ask Ko to tell about what inspired you to create this work. [00:07:06] Ko Kim: Yeah, two things. One, I'm an auntie to many nieces and nephews, and it pained me to not see our voices represented on the bookshelves. Public school teacher as well, former public school teacher and it really pained me cuz I would see my students experiencing microaggressions, but it'd be hard to process that with them. Lastly 2020 during shelter in place a man holding a tray of sushi started to say all the racial slurs at me at a grocery store and came so close to my face, I felt the spit on my cheek. And I was like, oh, great, I'm gonna get COVID and verbally assaulted today. And when that happened, there were children around who witnessed that, and the educator in me was like, in pain. Made me wonder, okay, here's this episodic explosive event, how are caregivers and explain that to their children and then the other thought I have [00:08:00] had was what about the everyday racism that Asian American face? Right? How are we helping caregivers, teachers, parents talk about everyday anti-Asian racism? [00:08:11] Miko Lee: I just wanna point out that Ko also has a presentation that she does in schools. So if you know teachers that are interested in that, she has a whole presentation, reads some of the book and then breaks down who is Grace Lee Boggs, what is the background. So it's really helpful. And also talking about not just the times we are in right now with the microaggressions that our community are facing, but who are our solidarity leaders historically and who are people that are working in the community now. So does anybody else have a question for Ko, the author in the space? [00:08:44] Paige: Hi, Ko, thanks for reading your story, and I'm really sorry that a person assaulted you verbally.  [00:08:50] Paige: I, I was looking at the title and wondering if there was any association with the TV show where they're like all gems and then they like sing [00:09:00] songs. Stephen Universe.  [00:09:00] Ko Kim: I'm just gonna lie and be like, yes. I, I planned that . No, there isn't, but I actually pulled a lot of my teacher educator friends. To think about how could we self love our and love our Asian Am AAPI children? And that's what I came up with. But, great question, Paige.  [00:09:23] Miko Lee: And Ko, you did a non-traditional method for publishing. Can you share a little bit about that and why you chose that route?  [00:09:30] Ko Kim: Yeah, I would love to share that cuz I do know there's someone in the audience who talked about possibly writing a children's book of their own. [00:09:37] Ko Kim: So I think we use the tools we're most familiar with, and I'm really used to reaching out to mutual aid, through my community. I'm sure this is something that everyone knows a lot of public school teachers fund their own libraries, fund their own field trips, right? And so I often reached out to my community to help fund those activities, resources , and I had no connection to the publishing world. [00:10:00] So I did this unconventional way and I made sure to recognize the folks in my community that made this book possible. If you look at the very back, their names are listed on the Kickstarter. I also, maybe I was like creeping on fans, people that I really like, but I DMed a bunch of authors on Instagram and asked them for some advice. And Innosanto Nagara has also been very gracious in that process. I have no idea if he remembers that I DMed him, but he gave me some really good tips. He himself started off as a Kickstarter, as you know, and his book was picked up by [00:10:33] Ko Kim: Seven Story Press.  [00:10:36] Jasmine: Thanks. I'm curious, Ko if you've read this book with your students and your nibbling, how have the kids received it?  [00:10:46] Ko Kim: It's really interesting. I thought only middle grades or like upper elementary children would be interested in this, but I actually presented this to a bunch of high schoolers in Hayward and there was a huge response from them. They loved [00:11:00] it. I think we do this false age designation where we're like, oh, by the time you're 18 you don't like pictures. Which is not true, right? Like if the look at the popularity of TikTok, it's such, such a visual medium, right? People rely on visuals and I think art is actually a great activist tool and way of being. And so, I've seen K through 12, a lot of warmth about the images. I had one Jamaican American teacher email me and say, these things happen to me all the time and I brush them aside, and this book helped me heal. I had another teacher in the audience write me that they went to therapy after the book reading, which I think is a great next step. I'm all about healing ourselves. Thanks for that question, Jasmine. [00:11:49] Miko Lee: Thank you. Anybody else with questions for Ko?  [00:11:52] Paige: I have another question related to the topic, we were reading the Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead in college my [00:12:00] freshman year. And I remember someone asked in class like, how early is it to talk about these things? Like kind of how you're talking about the age of what you had imagined, the children reading the book. And my teacher was like, I don't think sixth grade is that early for this book. And that book it was really, it's quite violent , so I was just, yeah. How were you thinking about that when you were writing this book? Can you say more about thinking about the violence, about introducing that to children?  [00:12:29] Ko Kim: Yeah, for sure. I did try really hard to be age appropriate, if you notice. I intentionally focused on microaggressions and not the explosive physical violence just cause I know our children, they can't handle things, but it has to be done in a way that's scaffolded. There's that piece of it, but I also wanna cite, a really well known Instagram Spanish educator, she goes by the woke Spanish teacher. She co-wrote an academic article with a college professor in education. [00:13:00] It's called The Myth of Teaching Social Justice to Elementary School Students. And it kinda debunks some of the ideas that our children cannot handle these experiences because it's fact of the matter is they are experiencing these racialized moments and they're turning to adults to make sense of this, or turning to each other to make sense. Right? And it feels weird to just neglect that and wish them good luck versus addressing it and centering their lived experiences.  [00:13:28] Miko Lee: The other person I'd shout out in that vein is that woke kindergarten, and that's an amazing educator who's introduces all these topics with kindergarten students and recognizing that the world we live in, you have to, because that's the only way that we can create children that understand a greater sense of justice in the world. They do such amazing work, check out their website and they've done teach-ins and.  [00:13:55] Miko Lee: Other questions for Author Ko Kim? [00:13:57] Ko Kim: Bring it. Everyone. Just give me the questions.[00:14:00]  [00:14:02] Tran: Hey Ko, this is Tran! How are you?  [00:14:04] Ko Kim: Oh my gosh. Can I just take a moment to thank you for being such a model to me? When I was at UCLA? I was such an undergrad. I was such a poop head and you really helped me understand, solidarity. [00:14:14] Tran: Oh, thank you. Yeah. Small world that we went to college together and now you're a children's book author. That's amazing. so I'm actually a mom to a toddler, and so of course making sure that I have a library of books that he can see himself, in and relate to, right. And not just like Asian American, but other like BIPOC books as well. And I actually didn't know about this book until this event, so I'm really glad, that y'all are hosting those events. So now I know about it and added to my collection, but I was curious, Ko do you have, other ideas for books that you wanna do in the future? Are you planning on doing more books? Cause I'd love to hear if you are.  [00:14:55] Ko Kim: Yes. Oh my gosh. I do wanna create an ethnic study series for children. [00:15:00] I've been toying with the idea of debunking the American Dream myth, just trying to figure out how to do that in a way that's accessible to young readers. Another one I've been toying with is the idea of how do we talk about the anti-Blackness that does exist in the Asian American community, even though we do have a long history and legacy of solidarity with, Black folks. I've been toying with those and have been drafting. Thank you Tran. [00:15:24] Miko Lee: Exciting coming soon, Ko Kim's latest work. Yay. [00:15:28] Swati: You are tuned in to APEX express at 94.1 KPFA and 89.3 KPFB in Berkeley. And online@kpfa.org. Coming up is Ka BJ or Puzzle by Diskarte Namin from the album Kultural Guerillas. [00:16:00] [00:17:00] [00:18:00] [00:19:00] [00:20:00] [00:21:00]  [00:21:45] Swati: That was Ka BJ by Diskarte Namin from the album Kultural Guerillas. And now. Back to the children's book club with Miko [00:21:57] Miko Lee: We can start talking about some of me and Ko's [00:22:00] favorite books that you all can have access to. I wanna first talk about who we talked about in the very first place, who was a mentor and was supposed to be here today. Innosanto's work A is for Activist, people often ask me, what children's books I get, I as a few of you mentioned love children's books. I personally try to never keep adult books because I read 'em and I pass 'em on to other people or I'm a big library person, but the only books I buy all the time are children's books because I like the art, the vibe, what it's about and my go to little kids, like when somebody first has a baby, are these books, A is for Activist and Counting on Community. And I like them because they're board books, which kids can chew on, but they're also like teaching their alphabet books. But they're teaching. Our values about activism, about community, about movement, about growth, and about where we are in our world. The other thing I wanted to mention is the other Ino book for [00:23:00] older kids, to the question about, when do you start introducing social justice concepts? You start as early as possible. And with my own kids, you start when they're babies, you start teaching sign language. So you're talking about different access to learning and understanding. But then as we know, people grow and they get more sophisticated and they want more information. So actually this is one of, Ino's more recent books. It's called The Wedding Portrait the under title is the Story of a Photograph and Why we Sometimes Break the Rules, and this would be good for like fourth graders because it breaks down how critical it is for us to take action. So it talks about from the Dakota pipeline to nuclear weapons to the farm workers boycott and it breaks it down in a way that's accessible and understandable and really brings it home for older kids that want a little bit more information. So I will follow up with all these books linked [00:24:00] and how you can buy them along with a bunch of others that we might not talk about, because literally I came in here 45 minutes ago and just pulled things off the shelf that were interesting. But I have a whole list of other go-tos. Ko, What are some of your favorites? Or anybody here? What are some of your, like right when somebody's gonna have a baby, books that we give people? What are your go-tos? [00:24:21] Ko Kim: Yeah, I would love to share some, but I would love to hear from the folks first.  [00:24:25] Miko Lee: Anybody have some go to children's books that they just love getting every time?  [00:24:31] Jasmine: I bought the book Julian is a Mermaid. It's a really beautiful book about this little kid and it's kind of magical and like just exploring gender in different expansive ways.  [00:24:42] Miko Lee: Thanks Jasmine for sharing that , I really like the artwork on that too. [00:24:47] Ko Kim: I wanna say everyone likes all categories of books. I understand that. And if you so happen to wanna focus on that topic of gender identity, sexual orientation, there's actually a really cool mobile children's Book Bus. [00:25:00] Maybe you've heard of them. It's called Out and About and they're based in the Bay Area and they have the most beautiful lavender school bus full of books. [00:25:09] Tori: I just read a picture book called Coffee Rabbit, Snow Drop Lost, I think it's Danish, perhaps it's in translation. But it's about dementia and the relationship between a grandchild and grandparents. And it like made me cry in just a couple of minutes that it took to read it, which I wasn't expecting. It was very powerful.  [00:25:29] Miko Lee: I'm not familiar with that book. I love it when books break things down in a way that helps to bring an issue to light.  [00:25:39] Paige: I also read this in college. I only read two children's book as a child, and one of them is actually my favorite The Giving Tree. When I was little I was like, why am I so sad reading this book? It's so sweet and this tree loves this little boy. And then it felt like when I read that book, it reminded me of my relationship with my parents, like, why do my parents love me so much? [00:26:00] And then, the second book I actually read in college was His Own Wear by June Jordan, it's so beautiful. I love June Jordan. So I would definitely get that for your babies. [00:26:11] Miko Lee: Anybody else wanna share some? [00:26:14] Tracy: I'll just share some thematic books that I can't remember the names of them. But as a child since I grew up in San Francisco I got exposed to a lot of books around Chinese folklore about the moon festival and like where the moon festival came from, and the woman who ended up in the moon and like the moon goddess. And it's like the shape of a rabbit. So I really loved thematically those kinds of books that taught me about my culture, but through like children's books, but then in terms of an actual book name, I don't know what range we're doing, but because I read a lot of graphic novels, I really loved everything Gene Yang has done, like American Born Chinese. And his latest book is Hoop Dreams and it's about him being a teacher in Oakland at a private high school. And I love, love, [00:27:00] love, everything because it breaks down a difficult topic. So the one about him being a teacher in Oakland was about the different students who are on a basketball team there and their backgrounds. You learn about each of the students, whether they're Black, Asian, or Arab, learn about their specific kind of stories and the ups and downs they have and how like basketball kinda brings them together.   [00:27:25] Miko Lee: I'm so glad. Gene I love him. A local person. And there actually, as some of you might know, making a whole TV series based on ABC and the Monkey King thing. So I, I really appreciate his work. There's a ton of graphic novelists we could talk about that I also adore, so we could go down that road. Ko what about you?  [00:27:46] Ko Kim: Yeah, I just wanna thank everyone. I'm learning a couple new title. So there's a book that was published this year by Julia Kuo it's called Let's Do Everything and Nothing. Maybe you're familiar with this book.[00:28:00] I love it shows the intimacy and affection between a mother and a daughter in each page. And the illustrations are stunning. I never knew burnt orange and navy blue can make me cry but it made me cry in this book for sure and then I know folks are familiar with this book from 2018, Drawn Together. I love it because just like Julia Cole's book, it talks about the affection between family members, but this one kind of centers a common grief that a lot of AAPI families have where there's a generational language, cultural difference between grandparents and their grandchildren. It talks about bridging that gap. [00:28:36] Miko Lee: Can I add to that one? So I love that book and I actually, um, built a curriculum on that book, which I'm sending to you, and it's linked and I did it with an organization in Oakland called Agency by Design and During the Pandemic, we put together kits for all Title One School Kids in Oakland that included that book and then all the art supplies you could to make on it because it's about imagination and bringing imagination alive. [00:28:59] Ko Kim: [00:29:00] Miko That's, that's amazing. How can I get my hand on a kit?  [00:29:05] Miko Lee: I don't, I don't know if they're remaking the kits right now, but you could get your hands on the curriculum and I will say we intentionally made the kits very accessible. So basically even if you didn't have the kit, you could pull it from things at home or have free access. whenever I'm making an arts inclusive kit, I try and make it with high quality supplies, but then also just things you can get from your house. So it makes it more accessible to everybody.  [00:29:30] Ko Kim: Great to know. And then I have two other titles  [00:29:33] Ko Kim: I'm so glad I was recommending ABC American Born Chinese. This book breaks down what does it mean to acclimate versus assimilate to American culture, right? And that's a huge heavy topic for adults alike. And in fact, Minh Le the author and illustrator of that book he just posted on Instagram under the campaign of Books Save Lives how reading this book in college really helped him stay afloat. [00:29:57] Ko Kim: And then the last middle grade [00:30:00] recommendation I have is called, In the Beautiful Country by Jane Kuo this came out in June, 2022. She's a local Bay Area author and artist actually and each chapter is pithy and painfully beautiful it digs into the richer life of an Asian female protagonist in Southern California. It was very healing. And in talking to Jane she was talking about how this book was supposed meant to also be healing for the caregivers reading the book as well. So I couldn't put this book down. I finished it in one sitting. [00:30:31] Kenny: So I got this as a gift from my newborn coming in it's called Hush and it's a very simple book, it goes through different animals and just the different sounds that other languages make to represent those animals. And I think it's just really fun to go through that and learn all the different noises that they make. And it's a story about a mom who's just telling all of these animals to be quiet cuz the baby is sleeping just something that I feel like is cool to [00:31:00] introduce to my son since he's gonna be half Thai.  [00:31:02] Miko Lee: I wanted to throw out some more artist based ones because I think one of the things is sometimes we just get it. For me, I feel like having raised two artists and realizing the importance of art and life, bringing that into our young people is so critical and I love how Drawn Together does that in terms of inter generations. And really talking about intergenerational trauma. There is an another book about an artist, it's about Gyo Fujikawa, who is an amazing artist, and it's called, It Began With a Page and it outlines what is in an artist's imagination and how they create things, how they use and bring the world alive. And there's another one called The Sound of Colors, A Journey of the Imagination by Jimmy Liao and it is about a blind woman and it's the colors that she sees while she's blind and how she navigates through the world. And [00:32:00] it's just such a mix. It's so beautiful. The other is a lovely book about an artist, a kid, whose parents work as janitors in San Francisco and they're low income workers. And because they don't have childcare, they take their kid with them and they're Asian American and the kid uses their imagination while their parents are working. It's just such a good book talking about imagination and labor. Do you have some more? Should I keep going or does anybody wanna throw some out here? [00:32:30] Ko Kim: I wanna shout out a longtime author illustrator named Rob he's one of the organizers of the sixth annual Children's Social Justice book Fair.  [00:32:37] Miko Lee: He's also works with Janine Youngblood on this, collaborative that is around trying to publish BIPOC voices, but it's very, very small, they don't have like huge budgets. There are a lot of children's books that have curriculum that go with them. So I don't know if some of you're interested in that, especially during our time of, COVID-y time when people have had to shelter in [00:33:00] place and stay home. Sometimes having activity books for single kids are really great.  [00:33:04] Miko Lee: This is one that's about Filipino mythology and culture, Who Turned on the Sky, and it comes with this whole coloring and activity book. The book actually has a whole series of different, Filipino mythology and culture, and I think Tracy was talking about that earlier about how we grow up learning some of these things around culture. So that's one that actually comes with a curriculum. And then this other one, a really sweet one. Called Juna and Appa which is a Korean girl, and it's about her and her father. And it has magical realism in it. And it's again about emotions and intergenerational work. And this also has a curriculum. This was another project I did with Agency by Design that comes with a whole series of questions that young people can do for doing interviews with their elders. Even if you can't write, it's how do you draw an interview process?  [00:33:57] Tracy: Ko you mentioned earlier about this [00:34:00] idea of, we should talk about race as early as possible with kids, but, as educator scaffolding is important, I would literally love to hear your ideas of ways we can scaffold learning. I'll give you an example, I have a bunch of children's books that I gave to my sister to give to her kids. And then she took out three of 'em and was like, these are not appropriate for the kids. And I was like, oh, what do you mean by not appropriate? And I didn't get into it, but I was like, she's actually a math teacher, so she also understands scaffolding. so I'm really interested in your ideas of scaffolding and what that means to introduce material at the right level.  [00:34:39] Ko Kim: Yeah that's a great question cause I think sometimes the work of Social Justice, I tend to leave out the joy of social justice work sometimes. Cause I get so serious and bogged down. I forget that social justice work, it means wellness for me, wellness for us. Wellness for all of us. So you're right, it has to be age appropriate. Teaching for Justice has really great lesson plans and [00:35:00] they pair books. It goes by grade level. And then as you get to higher grade levels people's history, you know, the Howard Zinn open resource lesson plans also have a great one. I think it, to your point, it's really important to introduce a topic where folks are at. Cause that's also true for adults, right? Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you're ready for that topic either. There's a lot of pre-work and scaffolding that has to happen regardless of our age and reading skill. Yeah. Did that help answer your question, Tracy?  [00:35:32] Tracy: Yeah. Thanks for the resource. I think that like some of the principles you're sharing is like meet people where they're at and I used to be an environmental educator and my framework I use with kids and adults is appreciation, education, action. So it's like no one's gonna wanna take action on something that they don't appreciate first. So once you feel the joy, like you said, then you learn more about it. Also, you don't wanna learn about anything you don't really like. So it's like you appreciate it, you like [00:36:00] it, you bring joy, then you learn more and then there'll be those like desire to learn. [00:36:04] Tracy: Then you actually wanna take action. It's really hard to get people to take action if they don't really appreciate or understand. So you're reminding me that is a framework, but, the meeting people where they're at is if they're already past appreciation, then maybe they're ready for an education or action book. [00:36:21] Miko Lee: And the only thing I would add to both of your great words is partly part of our work is to just show representation and to show different types of AAPI voices in this context. For instance, this is a lovely book called, a Map Into the World, and it's not, you know, Political, but it's about a Hmong girl and how she feels and how she walks through the world. And then there's another book that I was just introduced to, which is, Incarcerated Dad. I have it in my stacks of books around here, but it's a dad who is Cambodian and he's [00:37:00] incarcerated and it doesn't make a big deal about his incarceration. How great is that? It's about a dad who bakes, but the dad was formerly incarcerated. So just to show this representation is also a political act, right? We are saying that there are many different types of people within our community. Our community is broad. They come from different places, they have different experiences. So that doesn't have to be overly like we are being political , but it's really saying, look, our community is diverse. [00:37:30] Miko Lee: On the same vein I have stacks of children's books around me by the way that I put into categories. So I was going like, food is such an easy fit in for people because, we're looking within the network about narrative power, right? And there's all this research that, what's the number one thing people think of with Asian people? They think of food. Okay? Some people think that is such a drag. Why is it just around food? Why is it on Christmas? You know, everybody's eating at the Chinese restaurants, right? But there's a way to use that to our [00:38:00] advantage. It can be an in for people to understand culture. And so there are tons of books that are just about food and about culture. [00:38:10] Paige: I wanna just mention Magic Fish. I read all the recent children's books that I know in the last three years, or like the last three to five years. That book is so pretty. Like the art is so emotional. [00:38:23] Miko Lee: Yes. Beautiful. Lovely book. We haven't been talking enough about the graphic novels, so I love this. This is such an amazing book.  [00:38:33] Miko Lee: This author, Grace Lynn has a bunch of books. Both picture books and board books. This one's called Dim Sum for Everyone, it's really cute. The artwork is quite adorable. She actually has another one that I love that's called The Ugly Vegetables, and it is about how her family grows traditional Chinese vegetables in her neighborhood and the kid hates it because everybody else grows flowers. And then at the end of [00:39:00] the season, the mom cooks the most amazing bitter Melon Soup, and all the neighbors smell the food and they all come and they wanna have the food. And so the whole neighborhood has celebration together over food and they bring flowers. So again, it's using food as a road in. There's also these great books about cultures coming together and making food together that are just titled by like bread or rice and all the different people around the world that eat bread and rice in the ways in which they do that. This one it's called Lunchtime with Samnang, and it's about learning, imagination, exploration, and about this kid's favorite Cambodian dishes as he hears tales from his grandfather. [00:39:43] Miko Lee: I think back to Tracy's original question around, how do you introduce hard topics, the first thing I was saying was representation, which I think is really critical. And then I think the other part is introducing some kind of like soft more deeper threads. [00:40:00] And so this is one that actually talks about a Rohingya, which are the oppressed minority peoples in China. And it's about a kid and his love of this bird. And so you could look at this as this allegory, right? About the oppression of peoples. Or you could read it as a boy and his bird. So you could take it multiple ways and have as in depth conversations as you want to have. But it really depends on who's the reader, right? And what are they reading with it? And there's a few more that are like this. There's a really good one. There's a few good ones about the Japanese, internment that I think, helped to tell that story. Like this one, A Place Where Sunflowers Grow. And it's really sweet and the art is quite lovely and it just tells about the Japanese incarceration, through a lens of a young girl. And I will say, what I find remarkable about this is there's a lot of books about the Japanese incarceration, a lot of children's books. [00:41:00] Almost all of them are about a boy or a male's perspective. Boys play baseball, boys go fishing, boys do this. So this is specifically about a girl and what she goes through and the lens that she leaves the world. I will say to you all, that I am incredibly biased. I raised two daughters and because I felt like the world is always introducing them to male writers and particularly white male writers that the only books I ever, ever read to them were written by BIPOC women, some men, but usually BIPOC women. and so I think it's also about the intentionality when you're picking children's book out about what you want to be able to share with your young people.  [00:41:44] Miko Lee: Any other questions or thoughts? Oh, let me share one more one that I just saw, which was so fun. I love this one because this is an intersectional one and it's about a Japanese American and family, but their cousin is African American [00:42:00] and it's about when our cousins come. And so it has the family. And there this author has written a bunch like this I have them all at home. They're all about growing up in the inner city. And it's really this Blasian experience. What is it like to be Blasian and to be living in the inner city? So I think that's really fun. And what do we have to teach each other about our different cultures and how are we creating a new kind of Blasian culture?  [00:42:26] Miko Lee: While we have a two more min, few more that's left is, many folks know about Yoyo Ma and his amazing work and how he does this work playing at the borders. The author Johanna Ho, who wrote it, and she's written a lot of other lovely books. But there's a great breakdown too, and if you wanted to do this with your young person, you could also play that actual music and see some of the real videos. So there's a way of reading the book, but then taking it to the next level and really showing with your young people how a book can push you off into additional learning. [00:42:57] Miko Lee: This one Eyes that Kiss in the Corners is [00:43:00] another about body affirmation. You know, a lot of us grow up with like slanting eyes or those stereotypes. And this is about just appreciating your body. Loving your body.  [00:43:09] Ko Kim: And Johanna Ho has a male version of that one. Eyes stare into the sky, I think. Cause I think it's different, right? For how that topic is addressed by gender. [00:43:21] Paige: Jasmine, you were gonna say something?  [00:43:25] Jasmine: Something I'm curious about, and maybe we'll need to write the book for, but a book for kids who are mixed white and Asian, around understanding their white privilege specifically, yeah.  [00:43:39] Miko Lee: Ooh, that would be good. Jasmine. There was a bunch of books with half white kids, but nothing, I haven't seen anything. Ko have you seen anything about white privilege? Jasmine? There you go. There's your opening. Take it, write it.  [00:43:55] Ko Kim: I'm here for a jasmine. I would love to see that. [00:44:00]  [00:44:00] Miko Lee: Love that. thank you all so much. You know, last book club we talked about Thi Bui's book and I just wanted to point out Thi's Children's book, A different Pond. This is a amazing, Caldecott honor book, which is like the best that you can get in Children's book Landia. And it is just a really beautiful. It was written by a different author, but Tui illustrated it and is really about a boy and his dad and, their relationship. Tui has two more children's books, one actually that she wrote with her son and, another one with the author of the Sympathizer Viet Thanh and his son and they co-wrote them. Okay. We have one minute left. Thank you so much everybody for joining us. Thank you Ko Kim and all of you for joining us today for our AACRE Book Club on children's books. Thank you all. Have a great rest of your day and a lovely weekend.  [00:44:52] Swati: Hey folks, Swati here. Miko was so bummed about not being able to have Innosanto Nagara come [00:45:00] to the children's book club but lucky enough she and Inno were able to sit down for a bonus interview! So we're going to play that for you now. [00:45:09]  Miko Lee: Welcome Innosanto Nagara to APEX Express. [00:45:12] Miko Lee: We had an AACRE book club event and I was talking about your brilliant books. As I was saying that my go-to gifts for people that I have bought many time is A is for activists and C is for community. Can you tell me a little bit about how you got started writing those? [00:45:33] Innosanto: Thank you so much. Well I wrote a as for activist because I wanted to have the book that I wanted to read to my child. You know, I live in this community, cosent community and my son was the youngest of eight to be born into our community and I'd been reading children's books to children for quite a while. And as you know, when you have kids, you read these books to them [00:46:00] often over and over and over again. And some of those books you love reading over and over and over again. And sometimes, not so much , but that's what they want, so you do it. But, when my own kid was born, I realized I was gonna be reading all these books to my kid over and over and over and over again, and I wanted to have the book that I wanted to read to my kid over and over and over again. So I wrote A is for Activist .  [00:46:22] Miko Lee: And that was your first book?  [00:46:24] Innosanto: Yes. I had no, aspirations towards becoming a children's book author at that point, my idea was I was just gonna write this to share with my kid, and once I had written it and I was illustrating it, I thought, well, maybe you'll print out, Maybe a dozen or maybe even a hundred and get them out as presents to friends and community members. And I found out that it turns out to do a proper board book, you couldn't only print, a couple hundred. I had to actually print a couple thousand. And so I went into this whole process of trying [00:47:00] to figure out how to finance it and, I had this idea that it was gonna be a five year project and I was borrowing money from friends and family that I would pay back over time and I would put it on a credit card if at the end of the five years it didn't pay off. [00:47:14] Innosanto: But as it turns out, I underestimated how many other people wanted a book just like this. And it took off on its own. And, the rest is history.  [00:47:22] Miko Lee: So you self-published A is for Activist?  [00:47:24] Innosanto: Yeah. The first time around I self-published it. I had two pallets of books in my living room, in our community living room and every morning I was packing up books to drop off at the post office and every evening I was getting all the labels printed and all this stuff. [00:47:41] Innosanto: So it became a bit of a second job.  [00:47:45] Innosanto: What then happened was after we sold it out, all the books, I had to decide whether I was gonna reprint them myself and keep on doing this. Or if there would be a publisher that wanted to take it on. And I think at that point it was actually 3000 books were sold. I thought that was good proof of [00:48:00] concept and a lot of the bookstores were saying, yeah, you should approach this publisher or that publisher, they'll be really happy to publish it a lot of people want this book. [00:48:08] Innosanto: But as it turns out, at the time, self-publishing was seen as the kiss of death for books and no publishers would want to take on a book that had already been self-published. but that's changed since then and one of the publishing companies that changed that as Seven Stories press, they had published, What Makes A Baby by Corey Silverberg, which was originally self-published. And they were realizing that the fact that something was self-published did not make it something that they couldn't produce and distribute more broadly. And so they actually took on A is for Activist as well. And all my books have been published by them ever since. [00:48:45] Miko Lee: That is so interesting. Almost like filmmakers and TV shows that have come off of social media accounts it's just changing the industry in a way.  [00:48:54] Innosanto: Yeah, I think there's been some experiences where the industry is opening its mind a little bit. [00:49:00] Publishing has always been a hard to break into industry with a lot of gatekeepers that represent particular demographics and what they think makes a good book. And I think, one of the positive things that's come out of people being able to do things like self-publish and Put your work out in the world without going through those gatekeepers, is that we're discovering that there's actually a lot of missed opportunities, a lot of really good things that have people are producing that perhaps those experts have somehow, missed. [00:49:37] Innosanto: And I think that's been the case in all kinds of media and music as well. So some people like, Maya Christina Gonzalez, who has been working on this field for a long time. She is the author of numerous books on multiculturalism and Gender, and she's pretty much decided to really promote self-publishing to try to fill the gap [00:50:00] of the missing number of books by and for people of color in America. [00:50:08] Miko Lee: Who's that?  [00:50:09] Innosanto: Maya Christina Gonzalez. OG has been doing it for a long time.  [00:50:12] Miko Lee: Love it. So I also think it's amazing that you've stayed with the same publisher all of these years and your latest book. The Wedding Portrait, I loved discovering that and one of the things we were talking about at the book club is at what age and how do you start to talk with kids about difficult topics? And I really think the wedding portrait really delves into that. Can you share with our audience what the book is about and what inspired you to create it? [00:50:42] Innosanto: Yeah, the wedding portrait. Is essentially about direct action and civil disobedience. And why sometimes to make change and pretty much all the time to make change. It requires breaking the rules. And for kids that can be a complicated Topic because they're being told [00:51:00] to follow the rules all the time. [00:51:01] Innosanto: And so much of schooling and so much of life is learning how to play by the rules. And yet to make change, we have to be able to identify the times and places when we break the rules. And so that, that book, it came out a few years back right when trump was elected, so we were all expecting that there would be a lot of rule breaking that was gonna have to happen on our side. And I guess to answer your question as to when, it's gonna be different for different kids depending on what their experience is and what their life situation is. But, the main question here is who is talking to kids about difficult subjects, right? They will be talking about difficult subjects amongst themselves in a schoolyard. They're gonna be seeing things on tv, they're gonna be talking to other adults, teachers, and so on. And so the question of how do you approach difficult subjects with [00:52:00] kids, it's really a question of who do you want to have had those conversations with them first and through these processes, through the times that we're living in. For me I think it's when they start having questions and when they start wanting to have these conversations, there's really not a time that's too early to be able to address their concerns and question. [00:52:22] Miko Lee: Thanks. So talk to me about your latest book.  [00:52:24] Innosanto: Since the wedding portrait there's been a few I did a middle grade book called M is for Movement, which is set in Indonesia. The way that I talk about my books is, A is for Activist is about the issues, counting on community is about how we live. my night in the planetarium, is about art and resistance and colonialism, and of course I say they're about these, but those are sort of the underlying themes. But, My night in the planetarium is about a kid. Me, it's a true story about how growing up under the dictatorship in Indonesia and an experience that I had,[00:53:00] the wedding portrait is about direct action civil disobedience. So it's about tactics and it stems from a personal experience when my partner, I got married, we went and did a direct action civil disobedience action, and there's a photograph of that but the broader context of the book is these vignettes about the different types of direct action and civil disobedience and tactics that have been used throughout the history of social justice movements. M is for Movement is kind of like bringing all those things together. And that one's actually fiction, but it's about overthrowing the government for children. And that's a middle grade chapter book. And then after that I did, Oh all the things we're for, which is very dear to my heart because it's a lot of these other books are about direct actions civil disobedience, protests, the things that we're fighting against. But I think it's really important to also talk about the things that we're for and the solutions and [00:54:00] the better world that we can envision in terms of democracy, in terms of human rights, in terms of environmental justice. And I feel like we have lots of solutions, but we tend to focus on the problems. And it's important to have a vision of the possibilities in order to be able to be motivated to fight for change. And then the last book, I didn't write it, but I illustrated it was written by my friend, Mona Damluji, and it's called Together. And that's also board book format. And it's a bit of a poem about, You'll have to read it, but, the theme that I think comes up a lot when we're talking to children about social change is the idea of collective action. But she does it in a way that, that I found really exciting because there's a lot of really good stories about people coming together to make change. But she does it in a way that is, poetic and accessible. [00:54:55] Miko Lee: Very exciting. I have M is for movement right by my side here, and I really appreciate you [00:55:00] going into middle school, which I think was a new venture for you, right? To write for middle school age?  [00:55:06] Innosanto: Yeah, pretty much. I mean, all my books have followed the age of my kids, I basically write for him. [00:55:13] Miko Lee: Does that mean you're gonna be working on a high school book coming soon? [00:55:16] Innosanto: That's always a possibility.  [00:55:19] Miko Lee: I also appreciate oh, the things we are for that you're talking about the irresistible future because it's hard we get bogged down in the problems without mm-hmm. imagining the beautiful future. So thank you for that.  [00:55:32] Innosanto: Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. And you know, I do believe in protest and confronting injustice, and so it's not an either or, but I do think that we do need both especially for those of us who've been in this fight for a long time, I think having the vision is important as well as having the willingness to fight against the problem. [00:55:52] Miko Lee: Absolutely. It's a yes and  [00:55:54] Innosanto: yeah. Yeah.  [00:55:55] Miko Lee: Thank you so much for spending some time chatting with me. I always sure look [00:56:00] forward to hearing your voice and I so appreciate your art and your contributions. Thank you, Inno.  [00:56:05] Innosanto: Thank you so much for having me.

Barb brought two books which tell similar stories about following your own vision of who you are! They are: “Sadiq wants to Stitch”, written by Mamta Nainy, illustrated by Niloufer Wadia and published by Karadi Tales (2020) and “Julián Is a Mermaid” written and illustrated by Jessica Love and published by Candlewick Press (2019). Listen to Landa and Barb as they gush over the beautiful illustrations in both books…and mutually lament over how little they know about visual art. BOOK AND AUTHOR LINKS!

Crescent Dragonwagon and illustrator Jessica Love pair up in this lovely and powerful new edition of Crescent's classic picture book, Will It Be Okay? The things caused us to seek comfort in 1977 still require loving attention today. We are reminded, with humanity, grace, and humor, that, yes—yes, it will be okay.   Oatmeal cookies also make things okay. Crescent shares her tummy-warming recipe with us. Dairy Hollow House Oatmeal Cookies Makes about 72 2-inch cookies When guests checked out of the inn I ran with Ned, my late husband, for 18 years, we sent them off with a bag containing a cookie each, to enjoy on the way home... to extend the pleasure of their stay just a little longer.  Ingredients: 1½ cups white sugar 1½ cups, packed, dark brown sugar ¾ cup butter, softened to room temp ¾ cup vegetable shortening, preferably Miyoko's Creamery Cultured non-dairy Butter 3 large eggs 1½ tsp vanilla 4½ cups rolled oats (not instant) 3 cups unbleached white flour 1½ tsp baking soda 1½ tsp ground cinnamon ¾ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp salt 1½ cups raisins 1½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans Oil or cooking spray  Preheat oven to 375. 2. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, cream together the sugars and the butters, beating till creamy and a little fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. When blended, beat in the vanilla.  3. In a second bowl, combine oatmeal, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir all but 1 cup of the oatmeal mixture into the creamed butter-sugar mixture.  4. Toss the remaining 1 cup of oatmeal with raisins and nuts and stir this into the batter.  5. Oil or spray a baking sheet. Scoop the batter, by rounded teaspoonsful, onto the sheet, allowing 1½ inches between cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Using a spatula, immediately remove the cookies from the sheet, allowing them to cool on a wire rack.  CRESCENT'S LINKS: Website: https://dragonwagon.com Book: https://a.co/d/gC8fjio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crescent.dragonwagon Twitter: https://twitter.com/cdragonwagon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cdragonwagon/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crescent-dragonwagon-0565b47/ Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast with Denise Vivaldo.

Det er juni og det er regnbuemåned, altså den tiden av året der vi feirer det skeive mangfoldet i samfunnet. Da passer det ekstra godt at vi i ukens podcastepisode får et spennende møte med Sunniva Jarmann i Foreningen FRI. Hva er egentlig skeiv barnelitteratur? Hvorfor er det viktig å snakke med barn om det skeive? Hvordan kan barnelitteraturen og bibliotekene være med på å speile skeiv virkelighet?

In this episode, Jessica shares transparent moments in her life that have made her into the mother, worshipper, and entrepreneur she is today. She shares the most vulnerable moments of her life as she cares for her son who was born with severe health issues, and deals with her own mental health challenges all while ministering to others through music. Jessica shares her faith and what her relationship with God now looks like after experiencing such quick success in music followed by her life-changing pregnancy. Jessica's compassion and love for people radiated all through this conversation.

Astrology shows us the cycles of life and allows us to identify challenges and opportunities on a personal and global level. We can look at the planets as energy messengers, that inform us about the current shifts in our lives and in our relations. Through Transformative Astrology Jess interprets the energies of significant planetary shifts, related to the cycles and phases of the moon, presented in her blog posts on SweetNeverMind. Jess involves diverse holistic techniques, such as crystals, essential oil, tarot, archetypes, sacred geometry and Vortex Technology in her Transformative Astrology sessions, to facilitate a unique, hand tailored experience and shift for her clients, based on their individual Natal Chart. Her STARdeSIGN Astro Bracelets are wearable ‘support systems', that offer comfort and assist with day to day challenges that trigger our outdated patterns and habits. Astrology became more than a passion when Jess started working on a more esoteric level with (special needs) children and adults, realising that allowing shifts to happen through all the senses, a parallel started developing in her energy healing sessions with clients and Emotional Intelligence and Chakra Art lessons with children and teenagers.

Many of our patients grow up never seeing a character that looks like themselves in a book. In fact, research suggests that 75% of characters in children’s books are white. Being able to relate to a character in a book helps entice our early readers that reading is fun and link themselves to the story. Seeing ones-self as the lead character of a book gives our patients an idea of what they might become. Diversity in literature matters. In today’s Resident Files episode, we discuss an initiative called Just Like Us Books that pediatric residents at Children’s Hospital Colorado have launched.

In today's episode I'm sitting down with Jessica Love. Jessica Love is a Singer, Speaker, Influencer, Model and Creative Director that provides assimilation, marketing, business strategy and creative services for several prominent churches around the world. She got her start in marketing and business working for the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls, Nascar, and Wheaton Bible college when her career took a turn vastly after releasing a duet with Todd Dulaney in 2014 that peaked at #15 on Billboard Charts. She went from offices and board rooms to ministering through prayer, prophecy, preaching, and song. In 2016 Jessica gave birth to her son early at 22 weeks. Doctors said he had zero chance of survival due to serval complications. She went on an almost 4 year hiatus to stay by her son’s side as he was in and out of hospitals and several near death experiences. Her passion now is supporting families with terminally ill children. Her influence has transitioned from onstage to a behind the scenes counseling and prayer ministry that thrives in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Her son’s non-profit Seth’s Lullaby provides therapy services for several mothers and terminally ill young adults. Her passion is helping people become the best versions of themselves. .She brings healing, laughter, deliverance, comfort and acceptance to those she touches via JESUS.

这期节目中，五位故事星球学员围绕故事星球播客“全球童书作者采访计划”中采访过的Jessica Love的作品《Julián Is a Mermaid》进行了圆桌讨论。《Julián Is a Mermaid》讲述的是一个想要成为美人鱼的男孩的故事。虽然多数孩子在阅读前与阅读后都坚持认为"男孩"打扮成美人鱼很奇怪，但当讨论到，如果一个像是Julián的男孩很喜欢美人鱼的装扮，那么他可以穿成美人鱼的样子吗？大家都异口同声地回答，“Of course!”五个孩子对于男孩女孩的着装、服饰的意义都有哪些想法？赶紧来听听这期圆桌节目吧。圆桌小主播：Ian, Spencer, Yoyo, July, Mavis想要听我们与原书作者Jessica Love的采访，可以搜索节目标题：“不论男孩女孩，我不想让他们觉得打扮是羞耻的”。你可以在这里找到Storyland故事星球 Where to find us：官网：http://storyland.com.cn/微信服务号：Storyland故事星球服务号 (ID: iStoryland) 播客：各大声音平台或泛用型播客客户端搜索“Storyland故事星球”片头音乐：15岁故事星球会员其乐原创

The children's publishing industry has long neglected the stories and voices of Black, brown, indigneous, Muslim, Jewish, disabled, transgender and queer peoples - and so many more groups. In this episode, Laura Gruppo, a mom of two, librarian-in-training, and founder of the Instagram account, Laura's Little Bookshelf, shares what she's learned about diversity in children's literature, why books should serve as both “mirrors” and “windows,” and what to do about offensive books. She also shares some of her favorite books and resources. For more recommendations, follow her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lauraslittlebookshelf/ (@LaurasLittleBookshelf).

Likevel er det mange i samfunnet som bekymrer seg for at debatten og fokuset på rasisme i hverdagen, aller mest den vi ikke legger merke til og kanskje heller ikke orker å tenke på at er der, skal ebbe ut. Linda er født og oppvokst i Norge, er norsk og snakker norsk. For mange ser hun derimot ikke "norsk nok" ut som har preget både barndom og voksenliv. Nå jobber hun i organisasjonen Agenda X, Antirasistisk senters organisasjon for barn og ungdom for å bekjempe rasisme og mikroaggresjon. I en åpen, jordnær og sårbar samtale stiller Oda alle de spørsmålene vi helst ikke vil stille eller opplever som ubehagelige, Linda svarer ærlig og gir konkrete råd og tips til hvordan vi sammen og hver for oss kan bidra til at rasismen opphører i landet vårt. Samtalen er laget med et brennende håp om å gi klare og håndterbare råd til hvordan vi møter rasisme, motarbeider den og hvordan vi som foreldre kan lære barna våre om hva rasisme er og hvorfor mangfold og aksept av alle mennesker bør være en iboende verdi hos oss alle ❤️ Del gjerne denne episoden slik at Lindas viktige budskap når ut til så mange som mulig.

The ramshackle paddle-boat on the turbid rivers of culture returns for another meandering;y humorous look at the things that have been happening in the world of books and the arts, and kicking things of this week is Grr Martin’s statement that the Game of Thrones books (the ones that haven’t been published yet), will be longer than the TV series.    We’ll just leave that statement there for you all to ponder and move on …   In other news, Chad Allen has created an audio comic-book for blind people, Turkey have banned a kids book from being sold to anyone under the age of eighteen, Tony Thorne is compiling a glossary of “Brexitspeak”, Jessica Love wins the Klaus Flugge Prize for her picture-book illustration, a man has been jailed for stealing 7000 books from Scottish universities, and more.   It’s a veritable festival of cultural anarchy for your earholes.

Amanda and Jenn discuss political nonfiction, twin stories, nonbinary reads, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot Insiders, Libro.fm and The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. FEEDBACK Chloe Poems’s Li’l Book O’ Manchester (rec’d by Arlene) The Night Brother by Rosie Garland (rec’d by Arlene) Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North by Stuart Maconie (rec’d by Arlene) QUESTIONS 1. I love books that take a look inside a certain industry. I’ve read Deep Sea and Foreign going about commercial shipping and Flower Confidential about the cut flower industry recently. I’ve previously read books about the funeral trade and restaurant/food industry. So I’m looking for more! Preferably ones that are about things that don’t immediately spring to mind. Thanks in advance. -Anna 2. Fun, Light, Realistic YA – Not too fantastical or sci-fi. I’m looking for recommendations for my teenage daughters, ages 15 and 16 and I’m stumped. It seems we keep finding books with material that is too young for them too dark and serious. They have liked “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”, “When Dimple Met Rishi” and the “Selection” series. They would love realistic fiction that isn’t teen romance but we are having a hard time finding anything fun that isn’t childish. -Cami 3. I recently came out as nonbinary after several years of being out as queer/bi. I am looking for a book with queer or nonbinary characters, though that certainly doesn’t need to be the focus of the book. I would just like to see more of myself represented in the things I read, and I knew you two would do a fantastic job! I like a little bit of everything, and I don’t shy away from YA or children’s books (Jessica Love’s Julian is a Mermaid is what inspired me to come out as nonbinary!). I would just say no religious books, please, and bonus points if the book is written by a queer or nonbinary author. Side note – thank you for this beautiful podcast! I have found so many books because of it, and I just adore you two. -Cheyenne 4. Hello Readerlicious Rock Stars! First off, you folks are super awesome and I adore listening to your show. My identical twin sister and I love reading about twins and I’d love some twin-ish recommendations from you all for us to read together. Some things to consider: 1) We’re open to any genre (other than horror) or reading level (middle grade and beyond). 2) Plots surrounding twins tend to be dark for some reason. Or, at least that seems to be the case with most twin books I’ve come across. A focus on fun/upbeat/kickass/bright/optimistic would be great. Please, no tragic death of one of the twins. That would be way too much of a bummer. 3) We’d love it if you could recommend some reads that don’t involve the typical good twin/bad twin trope. As twins who are constantly facing the ridiculous tendency for folks to categorize us/twins in that kind of binary way, it’d be great to read something that doesn’t do the same. How about BOTH twins being bright lights in the world? 4) Along the same lines as no twin death, I’m not a fan of any book that delves into serious abuse or tragic death of kids. As a mom of two cuties, it’s way too hard for me to read about kids and dark, tragic circumstances; i.e. abduction, murder, rape, etc. 5) We’re huge fans of strong, fabulous, outrageous, potentially super power grrls who kick ass. Characters who overcome hardship and beat a crappy system are definitely ones we’d love to root for. Thank you! -Nicole 5. Hello! I love your podcast! I am looking for a personal recommendation. Every so often I come upon a book or movie that broadens my mind and my heart. These books and movies usually have unconventional characters who become unlikely heroes. Strong character development, authenticity, and complexity are all fabulous, and magical realism is a bonus. Some of my favorites have in this genre have been The Seventh Gate by Richard Zimler, Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, Mink River by Brian Doyle, Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson, Sing Unburied Sing by Jesmyn Ward, and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. I would love another one to devour and fall in love with. Thank you for your help

On this episode, our guest is Dr. Tonya Leslie, an educational consultant who has worked for over 20 years in educational publishing. Dr. Leslie talks about creating educational content that engages students and youth in developing a cultural consciousness as a force for understanding ourselves and our society. She has also worked with school districts nationally providing workshops and seminars to help educators integrate this belief into their practice. We speak with Dr. Leslie about her work on around literacy, academic resilience and culturally responsive content and pedagogy, and how literacy might facilitate resilience in vulnerable school groups and, in particular, in children of color.   In our conversation, Dr. Leslie and I spoke about the following: The Little House on the Prairie books and TV series The concept of books as "mirrors" and "windows" as coined by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop Dr. Tann, in the Little House Series and the controversy about how race is represented in the series A description of Dr. Alfred Tatum's concept of the "textual lineage" of a teacher to teach tolerance The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston W.E.B DuBois' The Brownies' Books Diversity gap in children's books as measured by the CCBC Multicultural Statistics in 2017 We Need Diverse Books Website The work of Geneva Gay and Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings in influencing Dr. Leslie work in culturally responsible pedagogy The children's book George and Becoming Nicole, two texts, Dr. Leslie has used in her trainings The Doll Test (original) and the CNN retest Jessica Love's children book, Julian is a Mermaid Abby Wambach's commencement speech at Barnard College this May 2018 (transcript available here) The College Board's proposed changes to the AP World History course and its subsequent reversal adding 250 more years --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

Amanda and Jenn discuss pioneer fiction, distraction reads, slashers, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love and First Lessons by Lina J. Potter.   Questions   1. Hello! I am a literature and linguistics double major and am going to be taking 5 classes at an intensive this summer. I am looking for books that are easy to read and really draw you in. I love “The Vacationers,” “the Secret History,” and “the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,” and am also a huge fan of classics but want something a bit easier to read than that. I am also looking for fiction books that take place during the rise of Irish Nationalism in the 1910s. I am reading Yeats and Joyce and would like books that will fill in a bit of background information. Thanks so much! –Quinn Elle   2. Hi, I’m looking for a specific type of book that I’m at a loss of where to find. I love love love the Little House on the Prairie series and I have not been able to find any others like it! I enjoy reading about how people lived in the pioneer days. I recently read The Snowchild which was a story of survival as well and I enjoyed that too. Please find me some books similar to those! I like fiction, nonfiction, historical, YA is fine, but please no short stories, poems, or graphic novels. Thanks so much in advance, I look forward to hearing what you recommend! –Susan   3. Hi gals, I believe you have covered something like this before, but I am not sure how to really search for without going through every past episode. Hoping you can help me! My cousin/bestie’s mother-in-law is starting chemotherapy and radiation and they would like to read something light and easy together. My cousin loved the Twilight series and she and her MiL like Nicholas Sparks and Danielle Steele. Both of them, but especially her MiL are progressive and her MiL isn’t religious (my cousin believes in God but also isn’t overly religious). Do you have any uplifting books for them to read? I think they would prefer something that distracts them a bit from the cancer and the physical and emotional pain it causes, so I’d rather it not be about anyone dying or that focuses a large part of the plot on being ill. That said, if it is an uplifting story about someone overcoming a serious illness and you think it would be a good fit for them, I’d certainly consider it. Thank you very much, –Kristin   4. Hello Get Booked! I’m a longtime listener of all things Book Riot and am coming to you for a recommendation for my mother, whose birthday is right around the corner (along with Mother’s Day). To give you an idea, she’s an avid and curious reader who loves plants and gardening, food, historical fiction, cute/feel-good stories, and books with great writing. She also likes current books, books that are on the new releases/hot reads shelf at the library, that she hears about on NPR, etc. Some books that she’s really enjoyed have been Lab Girl, Stay With Me, The Sympathizer (loved the story/writing, didn’t like the ending), The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Goodbye Vitamin. What she doesn’t like are books that are heavy-handed with their message or that have an unrealistic/unrelatable plot (she didn’t like The Nightingale, The Family Fang, or Manhattan Beach). Hopefully that will help you/me out and I can nail her birthday gift this year!! Thanks so much, –Chloe   5. Hi! I have a book swap quickly approaching with a complete stranger. It’s a “slasher” themed swap (which I have understood to mean horror or dark psychological suspense). My partner has listed Stephen King, Grady Hendrix, Richard Laymon, Anne Rice, and James Newman as her favorite authors. She has read and enjoyed The Grip of It by Jac Jemc, Bird Box by Josh Malerman, Universal Harvester by John Darnielle, NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, and Little Heaven by Nick Cutter. She did not particularly enjoy Final Girls by Riley Sager or Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones. Could you recommend a book or two for this swap that would make her day? Thanks! –Tanya   6. My sister is trying to get into reading and she keeps coming to me for book requests, which is great, but I’ve run out of ideas on what to suggest to her. She likes reading Nicholas Sparks, Sarah Dessen and John Green, but I believe at this point she’s read them all. She also thoroughly enjoyed Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult, mostly because the plot line kept her interested and she loved the sections about the elephants. I got her Where’d You Go Bernedette for her birthday which she seemed excited for but she hasn’t read it yet. She loves the outdoors and animals and nature, she just needs a plot line that is going to keep her interested from beginning to end. Thank you! –Allyson   7. Hi Amanda and Jenn! I recently discovered this podcast and have been loving it. After binging several episodes, I was tempted to submit a request of my own. I’m in my late twenties and have never been in a relationship; the short way to put it is just that I make friends rather slowly, have never found the idea of romance that appealing, and haven’t yet met anyone to change my mind. I do want a partner though and have tentatively started dating, but I’m not finding the process much fun. I wonder if you could recommend a sweet-hearted story with an older, skeptical or inexperienced narrator with a similar mindset and a happy ending. (In the ballpark of The Rosie Project maybe? Have read Persuasion and Attachments.) I have seen contemporary stories about online dating mishaps, but even humorous takes on this aren’t that encouraging for me. Obviously a Romance would be fine, but it’s also okay for the relationship to be off to the side (enjoy general fiction, mysteries, SFF, and historical fiction). I’m fine with straight or LGBTQIA, steamy bits are welcome, and actually I’ve had some luck with fantasy settings where relationships are arranged/necessary for magical health, etc. No YA and please no trigger warnings. –KS   Books Discussed   The Wrong Stars by Tim Pratt The Mothers by Brit Bennett Giveaway! bookriot.com/bookstore500 Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell The Wangs vs. The World by Jade Chang The Birchbark House by Louise Erdrich Burial Rites by Hannah Kent A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer How to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes (TW: harm to children and basically everyone else also) Security by Gina Wohlsdorf (rec’d by Liberty) When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean

Jessica Love makes her picture book debut as both author and illustrator in JULIAN IS A MERMAID, a story about a young boy who imagines himself turning into a mermaid after encountering three women dressed as mermaids on the subway. The story is spacious, and here is what I mean by that. There is room in this story for readers to make their own connections, to build their own understandings. As Jessica so beautifully puts it in our interview, it's as if the artist is throwing a ball into the unknown and the reader has the chance to catch it. All of the magic is held or contained there in the suspense. I cannot wait for you to encounter this book. You can access even more information about this book and its author illustrator by visiting www.matthewcwinner.com/podcast.

In this episode, our guest is Jessica Love. She is the owner of Luv Java, a high performance butter coffee. At 16 years old, she was a married homeowner before shortly becoming a single mother.

Anyone following the trajectory of London's open-eared Uncharted Audio label will know of Stephen Fiske's work as LJ Kruzer and his propensity for dispensing wonderfully emotive tracks loaded with intricate melodies and lush sonic textures.   Son of a Wiltshire vicar, Fiske's formative years were spent listening to his father accompanying hymn singing in church with a Yamaha keyboard — which goes far in explaining his penchant for perky re-rubs of Christmas carols.   Since first appearing on vinyl in 2002 (a split EP with The Council Flats of Kingsbury), the London-based producer has released a steady stream of tracks and remixes on Uncharted Audio, AI, Seed and a raft of netlabels. Last year saw the release of his widely lauded second album, Manhood & Electronics, an Eno-inspired masterpiece filled with gorgeous piano treatments, haunting synths and delicate percussive pulses.   Uncharted Audio's next release sees four tracks from Manhood & Electronics getting remix treatment from TVO, Trademark, Cyan341 and Ukkonen (info and audio here). To mark the occasion, Spannered is pleased to host an exclusive mix of LJ Kruzer's 'electronic picks', freshly gathered up from the interweb and glued together for your enjoyment.   "The mix is the result of an evening spent digging through online mp3 retailers for nice new electronic music. As someone who doesn't consume music in this format — I'm only just catching on to the convenience of CDs! — it was an interesting experience, but not as much fun as going out into the world and hunting and gathering vinyl. The one positive thing about shopping for mp3s online, I suppose, is that it's easier to avoid buying crap music. Not all the tunes on the mix are from mp3 shops — some of them are recent works made or released by musical friends. Anyway, now I have a folder on the family laptop full of new mp3s and nothing to do with them. Do I have to buy an iPod now? Are they even still called iPods...?"   LJ Kruzer, February 2010   Tracklisting: Maps+Diagrams – Last Train Home (Yuki Yaki) The Sight Below – Life’s Fading Light (Ghostly International) Reinhard Lakomy – Es wächst das Gras nicht über alles (Permanent Vacation) Asura – Peptine (Non Projects) Aleksi Perala – Sentimenthol (Rephlex) Asura – Asura I (Non Projects) Oneohtrix Point Never – Russian Mind (No Fun) Trademark – Tropic of Capricorn (Intelligent Audio) Isaac Himself – Dad’s Garage (Myuzyk) Erik XVI - Gravitationskraftens stilla vrede [Gravious’ Anti Gravity Mix] (Highpoint Lowlife) Pangaea – Sunset Yellow (Hessle Audio) Grohs – woven lake (unreleased) Klaus Weltman – Albo Th Pigeon Brings A Letter (Strange Life) Ciupy & Mihai Bejenaru – Jewel (Magnetik Grooves) LJ Kruzer – Poil [Cyan341 mix] (Uncharted Audio) Audion – Instant In You (Spectral Sound US) Posthuman – Europa Sky (Uncharted Audio) Reagenz – Du Bist Hier (Workshop) ^ LJ Kruzer's Manhood and Electronics Remixes is out soon ^ LJ Kruzer photograph by Jessica Love
