Beautiful You, Beautiful Me de Tasha Spillett-Sumner

I love books that tackle different races in the midst of the family context. Genetics is such an interesting thing! But we are still a part of a family. They are you and you are them.

I Sang You Down from the Stars de Tasha Spillett-Sumner

This book is great for kindergarten-second graders, I think it could also be for older grades but the content is fairly younger, I think it had a very bedtime story feel. It is about a Native mother who is in preparation for her new baby. It is a very sweet story, and very heartwarming. In a classroom this could be used as a calm down story because it is very relaxing and could settle the class down, as well as give some Native influence into the class.

I sang you down from the stars de Tasha Spillett-Sumner

Primary
A mother prepares for her baby to come by getting him a lot of things for his medicine bundle. These are things she finds in nature, and things she makes herself.
I would probably only use this book as a read aloud during Indigenous people's month, or during mother or father's day, or things like that. But I would still have it as an option for kids to read themselves during free time. It shows the deep love between a mother and her baby, and I think kids should be reading about that so they know how much their parents love them or how much another adult can love them. I would explain, either before or after, that the people from the Inniniwak believe that things in nature are sacred and have great power. I could ask kids what they'd like to put in their "bundle", or things that are special to them.… (mais)
