We’ve just added a beautiful Caldecott Honor book. It’s a story everyone should know! #slickcatbooks #greatbooksgreatmemories #davethepotter #davethepotterartistpoetslave #caldecott #caldecotthonor #pottery #potter #artist #potterswheel #slavery #southcarolina #plantation #pottersville #edgeville #blacklivesmatter #poetry #poet #davespots #davetheslave #artistdave https://www.instagram.com/p/CEOn4Ptgn0S/?igshid=lgeqbb208kl6

Photo #1: It's October but these are the @diversebooksclub September picture book selections that I just finished reading. I don't have any kiddos to share these with, but as a former children's bookseller, I developed a love for picture books' artistry and messages and am always open to new-to-me titles. Photo #2: Remember when I was deciding whether or not I should buy The Hate U Give? Well, I did buy it and then my library hold came in too! Now I have to make another decision: Read it first before starting the October selections OR come back to it later, since I don't have to worry about returning it to the library? 🤔 Thank you @diversebooksclub for getting me out of my major reading slump. I've sought out diverse books because I never saw myself in the books I read as a child. This bookclub aligns with my passion for this kind of literature. Keep up the great work! . . . . #bookstagram #bookwormproblems #weneeddiversebooksclub #diversebooksclub #bookclub #goodreadsbookclub #picturebooks #aisforactivist #davethepotter #separateisneverequal #henrysfreedombox #blueskywhitestars #martinsbigwords #minty #thehateugive
