Nathan is flung into an unexpected adventure when he meets up with the mysterious Haven and crosses path with the volken chasing after him. This was a fun read. I wish it was a bit more developed, but I loved the characters and how the story unfolds. #Nonbinary #Hispanic #Fantasy #Comics

Alma and How She Got Her Name | Juana Martinez-Neal

This whole book can be used to teach students to love who they are and where they come from. This can be turned into several activities such as show-in-tell, writing a personal narrative, or bringing in a family member to discuss interesting family history.

Award winning- Alma and How She Got Her Name is a story about a girl who journeys to understand and love her name. This is a Caldecott winner from 2019. The pictures in this book are done by pencil, there is a fair amount of detail but the pictures themself feel softy and homelike. At the start of the book Alma is ashamed of how long her name is and then as her dad is telling her the history behind each name, she quickly becomes proud.

I would use this book in a social studies class to teach about culture and individuality. You could also use this book at the beginning of the year to discuss accepting others‘ differences.

Caldecott Honor Winner
Published 2018
This is a great story about a girl with a really long name who learns the history of where it comes from. At first, Alma is embarrassed and confused about her long, complicated name. But after she learns about all of the awesome people who are honored in it, she becomes proud of her name. The message of appreciating and being knowledgeable about your own identity is told in a child friendly way.

Alma and How She Got Her Name | Juana Martinez-Neal

This whole book can be used to teach students to love who they are and where they come from. This can be turned into several activities about about a child‘s family, heritage and identities. This could be done by show and tell, sharing how you got your name, making a new story about you're name and what each letter means.
