Last Summer, Alabama passed HB56, the most sweeping immigration bill in the country. It’s an example of a strategy called “attrition through enforcement” or, more colloquially, “self-deportation”—making life so hard on undocumented immigrants that they choose to leave the country. But as reporter Jack Hitt found, the new law has had lots of other unintended consequences. Jack has a book coming out this Spring called Bunch of Amateurs. (35 minutes)

Our children are gorgeously diverse and they love a good read.

Here, I feature authors and illustrators that are building a new diverse canon, book by dazzling book.

Some of my favorite themes include: children of color, LGBTQ, adoption, special needs, math, and science. There is also a mishmash of miscellany and reblogged tidbits that strike my fancy as they float by.
