Dr. Shipman’s Kindergarten Chronicles: The December Holidays is a great story that discusses December traditions. It also identifies Kwanzaa and Hanukkah. Although written in a playful way, the story actually highlights actual occurrences, as the author Terrance Shipman is a veteran teacher. The images in the story highlight an African American male teacher.

This podcast is more than just story time. It’s a time to share, to think big, and to believe in magic.
My challenge for the parent is not to limit the child’s ability. If a concept is “new” start with the book chat, then go to the story, then the book chat again. You’ll be amazed to hear your five year
old begin to teach you about mindfulness, self love, and diversity. You’ll then notice that your child is interested in writing or feeling more confident to share their big ideas with others.
This is the magic of learning.
