Hi Reader, We're almost to the end of the year (how did that happen?), and I want to thank you for being an email subscriber. Whether you've been here for a few weeks or several years, your support means so much to me! To show just a bit of how much I appreciate you, all my anti-bias and anti-racism resources are 20% off right now, as well as my Knits for Gaza items that benefit Ameera Skaik's family. Year end sale details 20% off everything until Thursday, December 4th at midnight Discounts are automatically applied; no code needed
Everything, even my hot-off-the-presses 2026 Anti-Bias Children's Book Calendar is on sale. My in-depth course, Nurturing Antiracist White Kids is 20% off too! Here's a few other things that are on sale:
Save on my Knits for Gaza items and help Ameera's family afford warm winter clothes! Just over a year ago, I turned my love of knitting into a way to raise funds for my friend Ameera Skaik, whose family has been repeatedly displaced and devastated by the war in Gaza. Though there's technically a ceasefire in effect, Israel has bombed Gaza at least 100 times since the deal took effect. Food prices have eased a bit but they are still quite high. None of the destroyed infrastructure has been replaced and Ameera is sheltering in a home that lets in rain and cold air. Much of Ameera's daily life has not yet changed. Ameera has told me that there are winter clothes available in the markets now (which were hard to come by last year). You can help keep Ameera's three children warm and fed this winter by contributing to her GoFundMe and/or purchasing hats, scarves, and bags from my Knits for Gaza shop. All Knits for Gaza items are 20% off now through December 4th.

Hi Reader, I realized recently that most of the time, I enjoy reading middle grade books more than I enjoy reading books written for adults. There's just something about the blend of sincerity and complexity that makes me love books written for older elementary kids and young teens. In my last blog post of the year, I'm sharing my favorite middle grade books published in 2025, including: ✏️a hilarious book about two 5th grade writing and illustrating rivals, co-written by two of the most...

Hi Reader, The temptation to despair has been overwhelming this year. And I'm not going to lie; sometimes I've given into it. My city has been invaded by 1,500 federal agents and an additional 300 state troopers who are ripping families apart. Our governor has said this effort, inappropriately named the Memphis Safe Task Force, "will last forever." In November, federal officials played with the lives of poor children, cutting off food assistance and then announcing that once it was restored,...
