Jebeh Edmunds:

Are you looking for a great children's book focused on inclusivity or I've got the book just for you. Hello everyone. My name is Jebeh Edmunds and welcome to my podcast. I'm an educator, CEO of my own cultural consulting business. And my passion is to provide multicultural educational resources for individuals like yourselves in this space that we are in right now and forever. On today's episode, I'm going to share with you an amazing poetic book called Change sings and children's anthem written by the Amanda Gorman. I'm a huge fan of her work. When I saw her speak and read her beautiful poem, The hill we climb at President Biden's inauguration. It was just an amazing, amazing poem that I share with my students. Hopefully every year moving forward. I love how she writes, I can hear change humming in its loudest proudest song. I don't fear change coming. And so I sing along. She's got wonderful rhyme. The illustrations are just breathtaking. Loren, you've got it. But I love to see how the person who is the narrator in this text, talks about basically changing the world as she sees it. And having friends along with her who are helping, you know, talks about helping our planet. This book talks about strengthening our hearts and minds and, and even how to take a stand poetically and peacefully. She talks about adding, you know, any person she comes in contact with, they have an instrument to help play and it just becomes this beautiful melody of partnership, and kinship. All under the same premise of everyone, no matter your you're able this, no matter your, your religious affiliation. Everybody belongs in this melody together. And by even singing about change, we can all have a better place a better world. My students loved this book, they loved how it would rhyme and just Amanda's poet poems are just amazing. I also love how she shows cases, the children and saying you know, we are the change we are I quote, We are the waves starting to spring, For we are the change we sing. We are what the world is becoming. And we know it won't be long. Oh, if I could get a t shirt just on that quote alone, y'all. It is so good. Let me read it again. We're what the world is becoming. And we know it won't be long. This is I always tell my clients and people that know me. It's like, it's not a moment. It's a movement. And this book is the first catalyst getting that movement started. Get this book changed, sings a children's anthem, words by Amanda Gorman, pictures by Loren Long. It's a great poetic book for your students in your children. I love the rhyme. I love the alliteration and the elements in this. My students love that it repeats just like I said, it's a great part in your poetry unit. If you have a poetry unit coming up educators, it's just a great read aloud when your children are sitting and having snack in front of you. And even as a parent, this book should be on your bookshelf. No, I don't have any affiliation with the publisher. I just love sharing my favorite culturally sound books with you all, you know, I don't need an affiliation to share that I vetted it. I'm a researcher. I'm an educator. And you know, my students always are honest with me. If they don't like a book, they'll let me know. So a book like change scenes is beautiful. It's got great representation of all walks of life featured in this book. So kudos to you Lauren long and Amanda Gorman keeps shining. I know she is going to be the Maya Angelou of our next generation. I've got lots of multicultural educational resources, bookless that you can find and download today on Jebeh edmunds.com jebhedmunds.com. Be sure to send me a review and share this podcast with anybody you know who has listening ears. That will help me out a great deal. Have a wonderful day, and I will see you here again soon. Take care. Bye bye. I can't stress enough, this book is a great read, change sings, it's got great melody. It's got great repetition and rhyme. It has really great elements of representation, that our children can sit in our classrooms, in our laps, and see a depiction of themselves and sit up a little taller with pride to know that they are also included. This is a great start of inclusivity. And if you as an adult, want to know how you can be a more culturally responsive educator, parent, this is one of the books that should be on your bookshelf.
