Genesis Women's Shelter is an organization providing safety, shelter and support for women who have experienced domestic violence. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Genesis Women’s Shelter in Dallas had increased demand for sheltering services. In mid-March 2020, Beckett was clearing out his room and found that he had new books, toys and arts/crafts supplies. Beckett thought that Genesis might have a need for these items since many women arrive at the shelter with their children and do not have any of their belongings. Beckett asked his book club, some of which are now fellow LOUKOUMI KIDS CLUB members, if they would be willing to help him with donating items and they were all extremely generous. Beckett continues to contact his friends for new books, toys and art supplies so that he can bring them to Genesis on Wednesdays. Beckett's parents are careful to collect the items and place them into quarantine until the items can be safely delivered free of any germs or viruses. He practices social distancing to deliver the items while wearing his face mask. Thank you, Beckett! #BeckettMovesMountains https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1595791017956-HUAPKI1NNDSPRBSBMH7W/beckettmovesmountains1.jpg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN With relaxed local Shelter-In-Place rules towards the end of May 2020, Beckett and his family escaped from Dallas to West Texas for a few nights of camping with reservations made several months earlier. In route to the Davis Mountains/Marfa, Beckett camped overnight at Monahans Sandhills State Park in Monahans. He practiced safe social distancing as he and his family were the only campers in the entire park. In the morning, Beckett helped collect trash in the sand dunes as part of his Loukoumi good deeds. As Chef Loi and Beckett would say regularly, "Everything in moderation except love, olive oil and good deeds". Thank you, Beckett! #BeckettMovesMountains https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1595791220385-A7EO9GUEDO8MDQBXB1KN/beckettmovesmountains2.jpg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1568081589002-RRZLQURX64TEEIJ3VGWG/avivah1.jpg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN Do you think Avivah Rhodes is happy because she has a lot of teddy bears?

They’ve drawn maps of their park designs, wrote essays, published letters in the local paper, and attended two meetings of the Parks and Recreation Commission. As a result, the kids are learning about government, civic engagement, and persuasive writing.

Ms. Zeiser writes that she "would like to recognize my students who put in extraordinary work, time, and kindness to make that donation possible. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, my students were consumed with anxiety about their human and animal friends in Houston. We discussed what we could do from "all the way over here in California." After a robust conversation about kindness in action, the students volunteered to host bake sales, lemonade stands, and do extra chores to earn money for Harvey victims. In the following weeks, I was overwhelmed with pride as the students shared their efforts and triumphs while rallying for the cause. As a group, we decided that our donation would be best sent to the Houston ASPCA you for the amazing work they do to serve our animal friends!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1527815250040-YMZFC67D8R54X5L3FII8/greenhill1.jpg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN The students from Greenhill School in Addison, Texas have been moving mountains! From SARAH: The way I've "moved a mountain" is last year me, my brother and a friend held a lemonade stand in which we sold rainbows, looms and lemonade. We donated every last cent to MD Anderson cancer research! We made about $125.00. My mom had a friend with cancer who has now passed away but our donation was in honor of her. Thanks for reading! Sincerely, Sarah From CHLOE: We recently read your book, MANJHI MOVES A MOUNTAIN, and our grade was thinking of ways that we could "move a mountain" as well. One way that I help move a mountain is donating to animal shelters. I also donate my old clothes to Goodwill. I love helping out and I truly hope that one day everyone will. I think that you are such an amazing person by spotlighting this unsung here Manjhi. Thank you so much!

Mine was about gender separation in stores. If you walk down a toy aisle in Walmart, what do you see? You probably see pink for girls or blue for boys. That's what I'm fighting against. I think gender equality is a big mountain we have to move. Sincerely, Maya https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1527886599699-HWPI14S8CMZYPMBUB9IE/addisontexas.png MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN From SASHA at Greenhill School in Addison, Texas: In this letter I'm presenting to you something at Greenhill School that we have been trying to fix since forever! Littering! So many people have put up signs around school encouraging people to not litter but that didn't help much. It recently got bad since Greenhill started to have water cups on the playground. I'm finding cups all over the playground! Last year in 3rd grade, me and a group of friends went around the playground and collected a lot of trash. I'm hoping to do the same thing this year, but I'm also encouraging other people to clean up trash and to not litter. It's not Greenhill if it's not green! Sincerely, Sasha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1527886823949-BAWY35FFXGRZSH0MV49G/addison.png MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN From ALBERTINA at Greenhill School in Addison, Texas: I really enjoyed reading MANJHI MOVES A MOUNTAIN. Earlier in the year, my friends and I did a book drive for Avance. Avance is a place where they collect books for kids who can't afford to go to school. The kids go there to learn how to read and write. In the fourth grade area at Greenhill, my friends and I put a box there, and we informed our classmates that if they could go through their house to see if they have any old books that they don't want anymore. We collected so many books, and Avance was so happy! Sincerely, Albertina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1547587319685-EFANOEL9RWMOR5PQ11PZ/milaluza.jpg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN From Mila’s grandmother, Johannah Luza: Each year before Mila's birthday she and Shayna plan for weeks agencies and people they want to share her birthday with. This year they gave gloves to the sanitation department, candy baskets to firemen, puzzles to Alzheimer patients, new clothes for girls in foster care and balloons and goodie baskets to other agencies. This year was a success! And Mila said," I know we made so many people happy today!" Thanks, Mila, for spreading kindness! #MilaMovesMountains https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1547772439131-YMA93X6PUO5AIX7WSAXU/image2-1.jpeg MOVE YOUR OWN MOUNTAIN Pia Allibhoy, 8, is making a difference like Manjhi by inviting friends who sit on the buddy bench to join her games.

Find the Martin & Anne page here: https://wordsandpictureslibrary.com/martin-anne/ Their mission: Our project combines picturebooks, knowledge, and resources to create an open-access educational tool that supports student teachers, teachers and teacher educators in using picturebooks for English Language Teaching.The Words & Pictures Library thus fills a gap by offering a one-stop, online resource that covers the who, what, and how of picturebook-based ELT, making it an invaluable tool to create engaging, literature-rich learning experiences. Our primary goals are to Explore what a picturebook is and the different types of picturebooks, reasons for using them in ELT, and find out about the history of picturebook-based ELT. Understand picturebook selection, representation in picturebooks, picturebook pedagogy, mediation and read-alouds. Consider the use of banned, multilingual, award-winning and picturebooks and picturebooks translated into English. Discover picturebooks by theme and category and their links to children’s rights. Our mission is for student teachers, teachers and teacher educators to appreciate the picturebook as an art form, an aesthetic object and a multimodal text and to recognise its potential for English language teaching and learning. Our resources include picturebook titles, book trailers, links to academic and trade publications (blogs and reviews), video clips by picturebook innovators, and ready-made e-lessons suitable for primary to lower-secondary aged learners. Our resources also integrate outcomes of innovative and award-winning picturebook-based ELT projects such as Picturebooks in European Primary English Language Teaching (PEPELT) and Intercultural Citizenship Education in Primary English Language Learning (ICEPELL). Finally, we are thrilled to announce that we have compiled the first dictionary for picturebook-based ELT (as far as we are aware) to assist and enrich teachers and educators with some of the specific terms related to picturebooks and English language teaching so they can talk about picturebooks confidently with colleagues and learners. The dictionary is an open access publication which can be viewed on our website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/7e12e3c3-165d-4db3-8c50-e8fa10081e53/IMG_5339.jpeg Martin & Anne: The Kindred Spirits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Anne Frank - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/558093a8-6020-4ffd-b067-b027f1e1287f/IMG_5578.jpeg Martin & Anne: The Kindred Spirits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Anne Frank - Make it stand out Join me for a free, virtual reading of Martin & Anne at the National Women’s History Museum March 20.

The air and light are not as bright. I had the privilege of knowing Shayna through her mother and her darling daughters, particularly Mila, who used to come to my book events, and was excited to become Dallas' youngest theater and book critic with her Mila Says & Mila Books It columns for Fyi50plus -- which were my joy to edit. Shayna loved Mila's adventures, too, keeping a scrapbook of Mila's reviews and making sure she was dressed "appropriately" for each show and book review -- which meant a "cat" outfit for Cats and a skirt with chimney sweeps for Mary Poppins. Shayna was all kindness. She collaborated with me on her first and now only picture book, Mama's Year with Cancer, because she wanted children like her daughters to know what to expect, how they might feel and how they could help during a parent's cancer journey. She was so happy about her October launch party and book events. She had her custom-made bookplates and bookmarks, which she designed with loving care, and poster at the ready. Even in the last week of her life, before her youngest's 5th birthday, which fell on Sept. 9 when she was in the hospital -- the very hospital where Avivah had been born -- she insisted on celebrating her child's birthday as she always celebrated her children's birthdays -- with acts of kindness. She was closer to the end than anyone realized and feeling awful. Even so, she insisted on personally buying goodies and together, with her girls, giving out baskets of treats to chemo nurses. Shayna fought cancer as long as she could. She got to ring the bell -- the hopeful period of time we focused the book about -- before cancer returned and metastasized, bringing her to Stage 4. She endured painful treatment after treatment. She wanted so badly to be here with us. She almost made it to the Jewish New Year. There is a Jewish teaching that says that those who die just before the Jewish New Year -- Rosh Hashanah -- are the ones G-d has held back until the last moment because they were needed most and were the most righteous. I believe that with all my broken heart. Please help keep Shayna's spirit alive by sharing her story and being kind to others. We no longer have the brightness that was her life, but memories of her and all she did and stood for can brighten what she left behind. May her memory be a blessing and comfort always. —Nancy https://www.nancychurnin.com/lila-and-the-jackolantern daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/1676773598453-H4HGC69TE1OWF1ZR8ONS/AB122046-E07B-447E-B74B-79F1A794758E.jpeg Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/97aea40a-53dc-4485-84ce-5f4594463bad/IMG_5084.jpeg Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern - Make it stand out Thank you, School Library Journal for the starred review for Lila and the Jack-o’-Lantern! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/36b0352e-6f4c-4569-9250-66a4d9a754ec/IMG_5116.jpeg Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern - Make it stand out Thank you, School Library Journal for featuring LILA AND THE JACK-O'-LANTERN in your THIS IS HALLOWEEN! round-up and giving my girl a shiny STAR, too!

But there is something more here to be absorbed. While homophobia is unfortunately common in our society, children are not born with that ugly point of view. When they encounter such hatred, they can be puzzled or even scared. Rainbow Allies: The True Story of Kids Who Stood Against Hate demonstrates that a good way to respond is through positive, supportive action."—What’s Not Wrong by Gary Anderson Read the full review here: https://whatsnotwrong.wordpress.com/2024/07/09/review-rainbow-allies-the-true-story-of-kids-who-stood-against-hate-by-nancy-churnin-illustrated-by-izzy-evans/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/cfb943d6-c5d5-43cd-9605-9209bb9bc115/IMG_5926.jpeg Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out Thanks for featuring Rainbow Allies, Storytime with Summer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/ff702e2a-3502-41b1-84c4-293e6ec84e24/IMG_5910.jpeg Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out Loved sharing Rainbow Allies at the Rainbow Connection at the Dallas Pride Festival in Fair Park June 1. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/4d8f7e5b-eead-4d8a-97af-832af63a295e/IMG_5864.jpeg Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out You can download this free, kid-friendly guide on how to be an ally here: https://ms.beamingbooks.com/downloads/BB/RainbowAllies_HowToBeAnAlly.pdf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/a4727c12-2af1-4140-9081-8e1eb317003c/RainbowAllies+Coloring+Page.png Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out You can download this fun, free coloring page here: https://ms.beamingbooks.com/downloads/BB/RainbowAllies_ColoringPage.pdf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/30725c05-f31b-4f4a-9ce6-abbb087576c8/IMG_5748.jpeg Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out Had a great time sharing Rainbow Allies with librarians at the Texas Library Association conference in San Antonio as part of my What’s New with Texas Authors and Illustrators panel. #txla2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56909eb825981daa98ed7ab0/3536f34d-7397-438f-87c6-a36ade92010b/IMG_4278.jpeg Rainbow Allies - Make it stand out This lovely librarian won the very first Rainbow Allies giveaway!

In 1963, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the toy, Benjamin Michtom (who was a one-year-old child in A Teddy Bear for Emily, when the bear was created), contacted Kermit Roosevelt, a grandson of T.R. and asked his children to pose with it. Mitchom said he would give the bear to him, with the understanding that it would later be given to the Smithsonian Institution. After the photo shoot, Kermit Roosevelt's children, Mark and Anne Roosevelt, decided they couldn't part with the bear and actually hid it from their parents. A letter from Mrs. Roosevelt to Mr. Michtom said, "I was about to get in touch with the Smithsonian about presenting them with the original bear when the children decided they didn't want to part with it yet." Eventually, however, the children changed their minds, and the bear was given to the Smithsonian in January 1964.
