Big circle! Me learning to read in Maji, the artists who traveled to Maji and brainstormed what became the first @OpenHeartsBigD1 bilingual books, girls getting to read in Maji in their mother tongue. Bring on global literacy.

I wrote about getting to know my grandparents and Eastern Oregon cousins in my upcoming @catalyst_press book--and this week got to connect with one of those cousins and discuss family history as we can piece it together. Can't wait to read from the book in her community in July.

#EarthDay Who feels left out of the #science conversation? Who can be drawn in through words, pictures, stories, fascinating animals and #dinosaurs and curious people? Can you share a book in #Ethiopia or the U.S. for #EarthDay2025 We learn via facts and imagination and models.

First my grandkids worked on the story with me. Then #Ethiopian and American artists created art with kids in Addis Ababa. Then two teachers gave me story suggestions + one of them created new illustrations. Now @OpenHeartsBigD1 has gotten it into new languages! Fly, turtle, fly!

We want to inspire young conservationists in #Ethiopia and I'm raising money so Dr Bruktawit Abdi can use titles like this to help Ethiopian kids see how. @KyKebero @EthiopianWolves need a lot of help and they need it now! @OpenHeartsBigD1

lithub.com/ten-new-childrens… Love it that Clara is on this list. So many ways of storytelling including @OpenHeartsBigD1 bilingual books my Ethiopian-American grandkids helped me spark. And standing for science through storytelling: key for our human future? Let's discuss at @TXLA
