Title: Expanding Stories with Author's Notes in Culturally Authentic Picture Books.
Authors: Kaczmarczyk, Annemarie, Adams, Brittany
Source: Reading Teacher. Sep2021, Vol. 75 Issue 2, p219-225. 7p. 1 Color Photograph, 1 Black and White Photograph, 2 Charts.
Subjects: Picture books, Classroom libraries, Race, Bias (Law), Equality, Social justice
Abstract: An increase in curated lists of books focused on race, bias, equity, and privilege has begun tasking teachers with examining and identifying diversity within their own classroom libraries. As purchasing new books is not always feasible, teachers can look to the culturally authentic books already in their possession to help extend conversations around diversity and social justice issues. In addition to the stories told within these books, there is a resource that often gets overlooked, the author's note. Author's notes frequently add to the voices and experiences shared within the stories themselves. They can provide more factual information related to events in the story, or an author's own personal connection. Adding exposure to an author's note during literacy instruction can deepen conversations about and even open avenues for further research into a person or topic aligned with social justice.
