Story Forward

This week we sit down and dig in via Zoom with several of the amazing creatives and makers behind the new collaborative reading and discussion series, Turning Pages (available on YouTube 24/7, link below, subscribe if you can, thanks!). 

Here's what it's all about:Turning Pages is a collaborative effort featuring twelve local Boise BIPoC leaders, reading and discussing children’s books that hold deep meaning and importance to them. Each ten-minute episode includes the reader’s introduction of their personal journey, examples of overcoming barriers, celebrating who they are, and how each selected book has enriched, inspired, and encouraged them. Turning Pages was created to center BIPoC voices and role models, while elevating the importance of reading and literacy. Each episode seeks to engage K-6th grade learners, teachers, and parents in discussion and awareness of the diversity of experience and expertise found in our community.

Take care out there and stay safe, healthy, and kind. Storyfort and Treefort '21 is on the horizon!
