SUMMARY:Erica Turnipseed for "Bigger Than Me"
DESCRIPTION:About the Book: \nChildren discover the impact they can have when they band together in this picture book ode to how solidarity lifts everyone up. \nSiblings Luna and Zion are feeling a bit overwhelmed. Big words keep rushing at them: Homelessness. Pandemic. Inequality. Recession. Unemployment. \nThey don’t understand the words\, but grown-ups do\, and the siblings can see how upset the words make them. Wanting to understand the words themselves\, Luna and Zion spell them out with building blocks\, but the words’ weight sends the blocks tumbling. So they recruit other kids to help them. Many hands make light work\, and as the words are constructed from any materials the children can find\, the words themselves grow lighter\, and change: Equality. Kindness. Compassion. Liberty. Democracy. Freedom. Hope. \nThe words are still big\, but not as heavy—ones everyone can carry\, if we carry them together. \nAbout the Author: \nErica Simone Turnipseed is a teacher\, social justice activist\, novelist\, and essayist\, as well as the author of Bigger Than Me. Originally from Brooklyn\, she holds BA and MA degrees in anthropology from Yale and Columbia\, respectively\, and now lives in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:Tricia Elam Walker for "Nana Akua Goes to School"\, "Dream Street"
DESCRIPTION:Come to a storytime with Tricia Elam Walker\, featuring her books Dream Street and Nana Akua Goes to School. \nAbout the books: \nIt is Grandparents Day at Zura’s elementary school\, and the students are excited to introduce their grandparents and share what makes them special. Aleja’s grandfather is a fisherman. Bisou’s grandmother is a dentist. But Zura’s Nana\, who is her favorite person in the world\, looks a little different from other grandmas. Nana Akua was raised in Ghana\, and\, following an old West African tradition\, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana–or worse\, make fun of her–Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Akua knows what to do\, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint\, Nana Akua is able to explain what makes her special\, and to make all of Zura’s classmates feel special\, too. \n  \nWelcome to Dream Street–the best street in the world!  Jump rope with Azaria–can you Double Dutch one leg at a time?  Dream big with Ede and Tari\, who wish to create a picture book together one day. Say hello with Mr. Sidney\, a retired mail carrier who greets everyone with the words\, “Don’t wait to have a great day. Create one!” On Dream Street\, love between generations rules\, everyone is special\, and the warmth of the neighborhood shines. \nTricia Elam Walker is an award-winning author\, attorney and educator.  Her first novel\, Breathing Room\, was published by Simon & Schuster/PocketBooks in 2001. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post\, The Baltimore Sun\, Essence and other publications.  She has provided commentary for NPR\, CNN\, the BBC and more.  Tricia’s short stories are included in the O.Henry Prize Stories\, New Stories from the South and other anthologies and her essays are published in Father’s Songs\, Dream Me Home Safely\, It’s All About Love and more. \n  \nThis will be an in-person event.
