Happy Black History Month

Howdy folks. I'm stuck in the house for the third day in a row. Big snow for us here in NC. It is starting to melt (as are my nerves) so hopefully we will get out and about soon. On to more exciting topics. Can you believe it is Feb 1. In honor of Black History Month The Brown Bookshelf has a very exciting project called 28 Days Later. They spotlight an under-the-radar African American author or illustrator each day of the month of February. I happen to be BFF's with three of the writers on the site, but don't think I am biased when I say it is fabulous. They even have a poster you can download for classroom use. If I were still teaching it would be a very valuable resource. I certainly plan on checking out each author. Way to go Brown Bookshelf. You guys rock!!! Until next time my friends, take a little time today to learn something new.
