Text of the page (random words):
fic northwest region the box set of families how we eat on the go celebrations hair shows children and families in many different forms of diversity i haven t seen the board book version of these books but if they are like the picture book versions they will be fab the pictures in the book include children with disabilities from lgbtq families multi racial and multi cultural the pictures in on the go and how we eat have children using different feeding aids and mobility aids respectively picture books lunch every day civility and kindness is so important to model and teach this book shares the story of a young kid who is often seen as a bully and having a hard time making friends he is invited to a party something that doesn t happen often because he s a bully and something unexpected happens i won t give away the rest of the story but it is an important one especially in this political climate if you have any teacher friends family in your life buy a copy for their classrooms pre school to high school should be reminded of the message in the book yes high schoolers read and enjoy picture books too if you re looking for a gift for a budding naturalist or biologist the land knows me makes a great gift this non fiction book shows native plants from the pacific northwest area the plant names are listed in squamish language and the book describes indigenous practices around plants little golden books are iconic and affordable they also have done a nice job diversifying their lineup and including bipoc authors and topics i found bts little golden book while on a work trip in spokane wa i also really loved the michelle yeoh little golden book and there are so many other great books by black and brown authors including simone biles sonia sotomayor english or spanish ms marvel ramadan if you have any kpop fans in your house little golden books has a blackpink book coming out in a few weeks wrong season but pick this up for next fall day of the dead abc día de los muertos abc is so good the text and pictures work together to talk about culture and language i appreciate the spanish and english text trade off on which is centered larger so it more of a bilingual book than a book with two languages winter holiday books an anishinaabe christmas shows how an anishinaabe indigenous family blends cultural practices to celebrate christmas the author is the premier of manitoba and santa s gotta go is hilarious santa overstays his welcome with a family and you get to witness the chaos the mexican dreidel a boy visits his grandmother in mexico and brings his dreidel readers get to see how hanukkah is celebrated in mexico not poc authored santa s husband is on my favorite book list santa and his husband challenge the white heterosexual santa norms in this comical book not poc authored adult books i am hyping up and recommend two brand new releases by friends first is ruchika t malhotra s uncompete she s done it again writing about how when we lift up women and others who are marginalized we re better off the second is vu le s reimagining nonprofits and philanthropy vu is known for his blog nonprofitaf and this book carries a more serious weight than the blog but don t let that deter you it is an important book to help us reimagine what the third sector nonprofits and government can do better i read kuleana a few months ago and still think about it the book shares the author s family s journey to keep land in their native hawaiian family and the author s journey to understand her native hawaiian connections even though she doesn t live in hawai i the book is more than just about land it is about our spiritual connection to the aina our responsibility to people displaced from their homelands i m about halfway through babel and it is captivating never have i thought about translation and the etymology of words and meaning rf kung nails the sinister aspect of her characters as always which makes for an enjoyable read it rhymes with takei makes a gorgeous gift book for anyone looking to learn more about lgbtq history this graphic memoir follows actor george takei s life and gay history in america i read it over pride weekend and appreciate lgbtq history even more now cookbooks what isn t to love about 108 asian cookies i haven t baked out of this cookbook yet just ogled at the pictures i have kat lieu s other cookbook and baked out of that one with great results so this one will probably be equally as great good things by samin nosrat features her favorite recipes for family and friends this cookbook is more of a traditional cookbook versus her first book salt fat acid heat there are so many more books to share if i get around to it i ll make a second list with more recs in the meantime if you want to see more books i enjoy here is fakequity s bookshop org link happy reading this winter summer reads may 24 2025 black totebag with words read rise resist in ombre blue to pink font i meant to put out a spring

is why books and learning continue to be important his name is george floyd documents floyd s life and how systemically black people face more obstacles in america picture books no list would be complete without a few picture books make your mark was an interesting read to learn more about tattoo artist and black history free to learn tells the story of the landmark supreme court case plyer v doe that guarantees immigrant students the right to obtain a public education in the us since it is graduation season the blur by minh lê or what will you be by yamile saied méndez are worthy alternative to the oh the places you ll go by dr seuss the blur is great for new parents or preschool graduates the messages will be lost on young kids but for the adults a tear may fall since my kids were born way before these books were published they both have copies of dr seuss book which they take to school at the end of the year to collect signatures and messages like an autograph book we ve done this since they were at a childcare center and it s become a nice keepsake if i was doing it over again i would have found a bipoc book to use instead i may put out a second list with more titles

public schools 2025 list of culturally significant dates january 20 2025 january 20 2025 picture of a handwritten calendar planner photo by bich tran on pexels com this was a very popular blog post when fakequity was alive and active i ve brought it back for 2025 the list is meant to highlight less commonly well known dates that are important to bipoc and religious communities that may not be featured in western calendars or consciousness thus you won t see dates like valentine s day independence days 4 th of july halloween etc those dates are easily found on western calendars this list is not exhaustive i don t put every religion s holidays on there the dates listed were recommended by colleagues of those faiths or through basic research there is always a danger when making a list to offend by leaving something off a list the omissions were not intentional please take this list with a bit of grace it is a start and you are encouraged to do your own research and talk to your community members to figure out how and what they celebrate the list was put together with the help of friends and colleagues therefore our biases show through to name some of them english speaking literate us west coast demographic bias college educated and connected to technology i ve done my best to expand the list over the years while still centering bipocs i ve also done my best to research the dates and verify them against several websites but i know there will be errors omissions and differences in when dates holidays are practiced or celebrated please always check with your local communities to understand nuances and which dates are important if there are errors please email fakequity gmail com with corrections if you enjoy this list and would like to pay it forward please consider ordering books through the fakequity bookshop storefront 2025 dates korean american day 1 13 25 annual date 1 13 martin luther king jr day 1 20 25 international holocaust remembrance day 1 27
