| Abstract: | Drawing from rememory and decolonial theory, this collaborative piece illustrates how three Puerto Rican educators and researchers partnered with a Puerto Rican scholar, activist and children's book author to engage in inquiry cycles. These inquiry cycles centred our general experiences with children's literature and the author's work. After engaging in dialogue and sharing/responding to written reflections, we play with content and form as we unpack our creative‐research journey to ReconoceR—to acknowledge and re‐learn—through storying. By doing so, we engage in transformational actionings to resist the conditions of invisibility, silence and impossibility that sustain coloniality. Through this work, we recognise the centrality of affective spaces and attempt to name those intensities with language. We pivot towards notions of responses to literature as complex understandings of the networks of feelings, experiences and intensities that help us navigate texts and ourselves.
