I didn't learn it fully in school either, and now I get to choose differently for my own kids, which feels like its own quiet form of repair. Freewater has been on my list since it won the Newbery, and seeing it sitting next to On Juneteenth and The Warmth of Other Suns reminds me how much range this history actually holds, picture book to oral history to migration narrative. This is the kind of list I'll come back to more than once. Thanks for taking the time to write it.
What an absolutely lovely message to receive. I think it's criminal how much history is erased in schools and that's why I wanted to include books for children on this list (I don't even have kids) and I'm thrilled to know it will be useful to you. Thank you!!
