<div dir="ltr">Our school is creating (just putting together) a website that will include student submissions of art and poetry with the theme of Stop AAPI hate. We are asking for submissions starting next week and will display them in a virtual art show on the website. I'm not sure how it will go. We're also showcasing poets, artists and books created by the AAPI community for the students to get inspiration from. <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Karen Doyle</font><div><font size="2">Library Media Specialist</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">Komarek School</font></div><div>8940 W. 24th St</div><div>North Riverside, IL 60546</div><div>708-447-8030 x 143</div><div><a href="mailto:kdoyle@komarek94.org" target="_blank">kdoyle@komarek94.org</a></div><div><a href="http://www.komarekschool.org" target="_blank">www.komarekschool.org</a></div><div><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1kKZ5nUywWev0rpBsZFBgj4rwKhksBS4C&revid=0B53pUjjKOpl3VUZTRG5RNFBFcktFWitlV2dURTFtaEFPYlhRPQ" width="96" height="29"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 7:03 PM Honkoski, Trisha via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>Hello, Neha. </div>
<div>One title I’m going to use for sure is A Life Made by Hand - The Story of Ruth Asawa by Andrea D’Aquino. It has great back matter and a make your own paper dragonfly activity. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for recent Monarch nominees, several that come to mind are: Big Mooncake for Little Star by Grace Lin, Drawn Together by Minh Le, illus. by Dan Santat, After the Fall by Dan Santat, Adventures of Beekle by Dan Santat, and Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas
by Natasha Yim, illus. by Grace Zong. </div>

</div>
<div>Hope this helps! </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">What books or activities are you planning for May? Also, does anyone know which Monarch books over the past 5 years were written or illustrated by APAs? I know it's a huge monolith that doesn't cover all the amazing diversity, but I want to improve
my collection and curriculum. I will also start collecting/researching, but thought I'd ask our amazing group! </div>
