<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have started a really fruitful program for K-2 families this year. We call it Tikkun Olam Layeladim which is Hebrew for "Our Young Children Heal the World." The gist of the program is I send home a picture book a week to participating
families that feature big DEI topics such as race, LGBTQ, ability, socioeconomic differences, etc. I include a discussion guide with questions and thoughts for parents to consider before and during the reading. Essentially we just want to provide families
a conversation starter to approach these topics with their kids. It gives them the entry point to start the conversation and to begin sharing their values with their child. I like to joke (in the context of the greater societal dischord) that I am not "indoctrinating" their
children, they are! <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested you can see the 10 titles we featured <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/19VgtoMp0wp8TUWREYoHO3Y2dJkYu8BBY80jCa6rC0yY/edit?usp=sharing">
this year on this list</a>. I am reaching out to you, my esteemed library colleagues, to hear what your favorite picture books on these topics are. We'd like to continue the K-2 program next year with 10 new books and we'd also like to expand the program to
grades 3-5 so we're interested in those picture books for older kids--the Patricia Polacco/Eve Bunting kind as well. <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HrI1MM4VfiEyY1FrhUSffJ9RaevP9d0QsHZsRDw3dkY/edit?usp=sharing"> This is my running list</a>
of books to consider for next year. If you have any favorites please send them to me. I will gather the titles from our great collective brain and share the compiled list by the end of the year. <o:p></o:p></p>
