✨NEW PAST PRESENT EPISODE -- Perfect for English & History lessons!✨
📚 Reading and writing are our favorite things to do -- same for Newbery Honor author Lesa Cline-Ransome. So, imagine if it were against the law to read a book and you could go to jail for writing a story. You might think that's impossible, but it's a part of America's history that Lesa explores in this episode of Past Present through her non-fiction picture book, FREEDOM TO READ: The Story of Teacher Mary Peake and One Mighty Oak Tree, illustrated by ALA Children’s Literature Legacy Award-winner James Ransome. 🌳
🎬 Watch here to learn how one brave woman risked it all to give Black children in Virginia the gift of education 👉 www.kidlit.tv/PastPresentFREEDOMTOREAD
