<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Great Brain of KidsLib,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the last few years I’ve been intentionally looking for (and reading and sharing in booklists) Christmas picture books featuring protagonists of color/indigenous protagonists. I’m particularly interested in “Own Voices” books (main character
is part of a marginalized group, written by a person of that marginalized group), but I did include other books in my list, although I’ve divided them up.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
So I’m sharing my list with you, hoping you will share titles I’ve missed with me, or if you have concerns about titles on the list, please let me know that too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as children’s chapter books go, anyone have ideas? I love LOVE The Vanderbeekers of 141<sup>st</sup> Street by Karina Yan Glaser, especially the audio performed by Robin Miles. But that’s all I’ve got, so I could really use help
on that one if you have ideas.<o:p></o:p></p>
